SK Chairman Says He Has 'Much, Much Bigger' Plans for US
THE SO WHAT
SK Group telegraphing larger US investments is another data point that advanced memory and battery supply chains are localizing around US incentives. Operators building AI or EV capacity should map where SK’s future fabs and plants land, because those sites will anchor talent and ecosystem gravity.

Deep & Emerging TechSK Hynix Chief Expects Memory Shortage to Last Into Next Decade
If a top DRAM supplier expects shortages beyond 2030, AI and data-heavy roadmaps are now capacity-constrained, not just budget-constrained. Lock in long-term memory supply and design for higher memory efficiency — architectures that waste HBM will get priced out.
Deep & Emerging TechOur expert praised Creality's K2 Plus 3D printer after his workshop tests — and it's just got a massive summer discount
High-end 3D printing at discount pricing keeps pushing advanced prototyping and small-batch production down-market. Hardware teams should revisit what they outsource — some vendor work can now be pulled in-house with modest capex.
Deep & Emerging TechMicrosoft discovers new multi-malware package 'GigaWiper' capable of deploying wipers and ransomware
A modular package that can both wipe and ransom machines means attackers can choose damage or monetization late in the kill chain. Treat endpoint and backup resilience as a single problem — test bare-metal recovery and isolate critical systems before you find out which payload they picked.
Deep & Emerging TechQC Design Publishes Plaquette Framework for Fault-Tolerant Quantum Computer Design
A hardware-aware framework for fault-tolerant quantum design is another step toward treating quantum like an engineering discipline, not just physics. If you’re in cryptography, materials, or optimization, start tracking which error-corrected architectures Plaquette and peers assume — they shape your future threat and opportunity models.
