  • [New] TSMC is accelerating capacity expansion through 2028, with plans to double its 2-nanometer chip production capacity by the end of 2026. Future
  • [New] TSMC will stage a very fast ramp of its two-nanometer process in 2026, and that it will deliver more revenue, faster than its three-nanometer efforts. The Register
  • [New] North America is projected to grow rapidly, fueled by nanotech advancements, aerospace demand, and government-backed R \ &D in CNT applications. Polaris
  • [New] The national institute of health (NIH) continued to fund critical areas but under a leaner climate, prioritizing human-based research over animal models and sustaining opportunities in substance use, cancer nanotechnology, and Alzheimer's disease through multiple FOAs. United States
  • The M6 could be built on TSMC's 2-nanometer process, introducing speed and efficiency improvements for impressive gains in battery life without compromising power. MacRumors
  • A second Hokkaido fab could begin construction in 2027 to target next-generation 1.4-nanometer chips by 2029. New Energy Industrial Strategy (NEIS) Newsletter
  • Memory as a bottleneck could compel Google to rethink how the Gemini Nano model is deployed on devices and the amount of system resources it consumes. Digital Trends
  • By 2030, nanoscale measurement will have become an intrinsic component of industrial design and policy. Open Access Government
  • By 2026, we anticipate ongoing advances in nano-engineered tungsten composites, exploring new alloy formulations that retain performance but minimize health risks and long-term environmental impact. Farmonaut
  • Commercial electric aircraft programmes targeting 2030 deployment could require battery energy densities exceeding current technology capabilities, driving demand for advanced materials including silicon nanowires, lithium metal anodes, and solid-state electrolytes. Discovery Alert
  • Its next-gen Gorilla Glass will embed nanocapsules that autonomously fill microcracks from drops with a feature validated to improve retained strength by 72% after 10 impacts. Market Data Forecast
  • Rapidus' first fabrication plant in Hokkaido aims to mass-produce cutting-edge two-nanometer chips by 2027, following successful prototypes in 2025. New Energy Industrial Strategy (NEIS) Newsletter
  • In 2025, brands will move away from celebrity endorsements + focus on partnering with micro - and nano-influencers who have smaller but highly engaged audiences. Breef
  • U.S. Army's institutionalization of squad-level nano-UAS training signals a doctrinal shift toward ubiquitous tactical ISR that will fundamentally alter small-unit maneuver warfare and force adversaries to recalibrate counter-reconnaissance strategies. Drone Warfare
  • The advent of AI-based image-generating tools, like Google's extremely powerful Nano Banana app, has caused concern among experts who worry that people could be framed for crimes they did not commit. Futurism
