IBM’s invention of nanosheet technology has demonstrated scaling to the 2 nanometer node, with a world-record gate length just 2 dozen atoms long. This breakthrough enables 45% faster speed or 75% less power as compared to the best available 7 nm transistors, extending the semiconductor roadmap for the coming decade.…

In this Falling Walls Breakthrough Conversation, digital participants had the chance to engage in a live conversation with Jeyhan Kartaltepe. She talked about her role as project lead of COSMOS-Webb, the largest James Webb Space Telescope program to be observed in its first year of operations and discussed what we…
