Bees navigate their surroundings with astonishing precision. Their brains are now inspiring the design of tiny, low-power chips that could one day guide miniature robots and sensors.

Semiconductor chips that process light rather than electricity could boost processing speeds and reduce energy use.

Microsoft engineers have developed a microfluidics chip-cooling technique that removes heat more efficiently and could ratchet down heat generated by AI workloads. When you purchase through links on ...
