By pushing into a new dimension, engineers at IBM have nearly doubled the number of transistors they can fit on a microchip—the sort of device that animates your computer—cramming nearly 100 billion of them into a square centimeter. Announced yesterday, the advance continues a historic but slowing trend known as Moore’s Law that since the 1960s has seen the number of transistors on a chip double roughly every 2 years. But it underscores how engineers can no longer simply shrink transistors. To realize the increase, IBM researchers stacked them.

The third identified interstellar comet in human history has a surprising chemical makeup, raising questions as to how common, or unusual, conditions in our own Solar System may be.

When Immich originally joined FUTO two years ago, the news was received with a healthy level of skepticism. Who was FUTO? Why did they want to “acquire” Immich? Did this mean the beginning of the end for the product? Well, it’s been almost two years now and we thought it would be fun to have a little retrospective on how things have played out since then.
