Exclusive: China has begun mass producing domestically developed immersion deep-ultraviolet lithography machines, a technology crucial to advanced chipmaking, marking a key step forward in Beijing's drive to reduce its reliance on foreign technologies

China is unlikely to advance its semiconductor manufacturing capabilities fast enough to develop a viable alternative to ASML’s cutting-edge extreme ultraviolet technology within the next decade, UBS analysts predict

In America, a family will spend $70,000 on a brand-new German luxury automobile. Then they will park that automobile in the driveway under hail, bird droppings, and direct ultraviolet rays. Why? Because their two-car garage is filled to the ceiling with four broken weed-whackers, six plastic sleds, an inflatable kayak from 2018, and eighty-four cardboard boxes from Amazon. The steel steed sleeps in the weather; the cardboard treasures sleep in the palace. A glorious logistical mystery.
