Six Words That Built the IC Industry | Unhacking the 2020 Election | Epic Leadership in an Epidemic
In 1965, the IC business was dead in the water. Andy Grove had half the solution, and Steve Hofstein had the other half. Their exchange of half a dozen words in a pool in Las Vegas changed the course of history. An interview with industry legend Steve Hofstein. Also, a report on election hacking; we know what the solution is. And, as the world has been upended by the coronavirus, engineers in high places have been stepping up to fill the leadership vacuum.

Life and Tech in the Time of Corona
Of course the pandemic disrupted the supply chain. But what about what happened after that? EE Times editors get together to discuss how the coronavirus has affected the technology industry and far beyond. Our colleagues from China report on what the rest of us can expect to experience in the next 4 to 8 weeks. And if you’re quarantined, our staff film mavens offer a list of recommended films for home viewing.

H is for Hydrogen | And Holograms | And High Performance Computing
Europe is betting on hydrogen fuel. What’s the agenda —and how do hydrogen cars work anyway? Also, holograms were a huge fad in the ‘70s; now the technology appears to be on the verge of a commercial comeback. Also, AMD emerged as the big winner as supercomputers move into the Exaflops Era.

Live! From Embedded World, ISSCC, and (sorta) Mobile World Congress
Sample a smorgasbord of stories from Germany, the U.S., Spain, and parts beyond. Subjects include a unique AI that can be trained on an edge device (no, really!), a ferroelectric memory, designing semiconductor wafers for 5G, and more.

Interview: XMOS CEO Mark Lippett | Getting Real About Virtual Reality
This week: A deep discussion on the semantics and semiotics of virtual reality and augmented reality (with a whole lot about VR/AR technology too). Also, XMOS just released a “crossover processor” for voice applications. We talk to XMOS’ CEO to find out what that means.

The Outbreak in Wuhan | Semiconductors and Sulfuric Acid
A new coronavirus emerged in China less than three weeks ago, and already it is disrupting business and affecting the global supply chain; we assess the damage so far, and get a live report from China. Also, the semiconductor industry creates a significant amount of toxic waste; we discuss a new process to reduce semiconductor waste dramatically.
