NASA has tapped a lunar rover built at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, to advance our understanding of water on the moon as it autonomously explores near the lunar south pole. MoonRanger will be among the payloads aboard a 2029 mission to the moon. The rover will carry a neutron spectrometer to study the lunar soil for traces of hydrogen, a good indicator of the presence of water, and demonstrate new levels of autonomous navigation on the moon.

Researchers from Boston University, UC Berkeley, and Northwestern University have developed the first chip that integrates electronic, photonic, and quantum components, fabricated using a standard 45-nanometer semiconductor process.
Texas Tech University’s Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering, Lubbock, Texas, will earn $14 million from the U.S. Department of Defense Army Research Laboratory for an Advanced Semiconductor Power Devices Program that will develop reliable, high-performance and power electronic devices with wide and ultrawide bandgap semiconductors.
Dragonfly, a brand of Comet Group, Switzerland, applied high-resolution 3D X-ray imaging to inspect 20 µm micro-bumps in HBM stacks, where sub-micron voids and cracks can critically affect performance and yield.
