China tightens indium phosphide export controls as AI demand surges, threatening infrastructure

China has intensified scrutiny of indium phosphide exports, a compound essential for high-speed optical chips in AI data centres. The export controls have driven InP wafer prices from $1,400 to $5,000—a 250% increase—as Beijing leverages its 70% share of global indium production. The move threatens to slow AI infrastructure buildout worldwide.

Korean researchers use light color to teach artificial synapse how to remember and forget

Researchers at Sungkyunkwan University have developed an artificial synapse that uses light color to control memory—near-infrared light strengthens connections while blue light weakens them. By turning a semiconductor defect into a feature, the team achieved brain-like balanced learning that remained stable over 1,000 training rounds, compared to conventional systems that failed after 200.
