KALISPELL, Mont., Feb. 17, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Semiconductor equipment manufacturer ClassOne Technology has just released its proprietary new SoftSeal™ Plating Rotor, designed to enhance processing performance on the company s Solstice
® electroplating systems. The announcement was made by ClassOne s CEO, Byron Exarcos and Senior Technology Director, John Ghekiere.
SoftSeal plating rotor for semiconductor electroplating Together with the plating reactor, the plating rotor design is key to maximizing on-wafer performance, said Exarcos. It s responsible for distributing the electrical supply across the wafer, isolating electrolytes from the electrical contacts, and a great deal more. Which is why we re constantly working to optimize rotor performance. The new SoftSeal is our latest and most advanced generation in Solstice rotors, and it s already achieving unprecedented levels of electroplating uniformity along with reduced cost of owne

A low-tech, widely applicable nanotechnology solution has been developed with the potential to reverse desertification. Norwegian cleantech company Desert Control has been developing its highly effective nanoclay solution for decades. Now it can be produced commercially and at scale, potentially revolutionizing agriculture around the world.
What is Desertification?
Desertification is the degradation of drylands that become increasingly arid over time because of human activity or other environmental factors. It can be a result of overexploitation, where nutrients have been taken from the soil too quickly without allowing soil time to recover. Deforestation and prolonged periods of drought are also possible causes of desertification.
It was a big day for cooperative titan IFFCO when its Vice-Chairman Dileep Sanghani met Prime Minister Narendra Modi and invited him to inaugurate one of IFFCO’s most cherished projects–Nano Technology.
Sanghani met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his Parliamentary office on Saturday and invited him for the inauguration. “The fact that despite the pressure of the ongoing Parliamentary session, Modi could afford to give time to a co-op issue, shows his trust in the cooperative movement”, commented a few co-operators.
Talking to Indian Cooperative soon after the meeting, Sanghani said “PM listened to my words patiently; the meeting lasted more than 25 minutes and we discussed issues related to cooperatives. IFFCO NanoTechnology was the main topic of discussion. I have invited him to inaugurate the IFFCO’s Nano experiment”, he added.
New device for scaling up quantum computers
Australian scientists have developed a new cryogenic computer system called
Gooseberry which has potential for scaling up quantum computers from dozens to thousands of qubits.
Quantum computing – as opposed to traditional (or classical ) computing – has been around for many years now. This area of computer science involves the exploitation of physical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to perform calculations. Unlike the bits of classical computers, which are based on binary ones and zeros, quantum computer qubits can work with multiple values simultaneously. By combining qubits in this way, it quickly becomes possible to work with exponentially larger numbers, with potentially revolutionary applications. If fully realised, quantum computers could solve problems in fields as diverse as cryptography, medicine, finance, artificial intelligence and logistics.
