The Tiny Star Explosions Powering Moore’s Law

Cars That Think

Supernova explosions, the catastrophic self-destruction of certain types of worn-out stars, are intimately tied to life on Earth because they are the birthplaces of heavy elements across the universe. At the time, about a decade ago, I was helping to refine a system for fabricating chips using extreme ultraviolet (EUV) light.
