The U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory will spearhead two groundbreaking microelectronics research projects aimed at advancing hardware and software co-design for next-generation computing. Funded through the CHIPS and Science Act of 2022, these projects will support transformative breakthroughs in energy efficiency, data processing speed, and resilience under extreme conditions. Argonne will lead these initiatives as part of the DOE’s Microelectronics Science Research Centers, a $160 million investment announced in December 2024.

STACK Infrastructure has announced its largest development to date, the 1+GW Stafford Technology Campus (STC) in Stafford County, Virginia. Spanning 500 acres with four sub-campuses, the STC will house 19 data centers and draw power from six 300MW substations supplied by Dominion Energy. This flagship campus reinforces STACK’s commitment to scalable, innovative infrastructure while driving economic and environmental benefits for the local community.

MOX Networks, a fiber-optic network operator owned by Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, has acquired spectrum on Google’s Topaz subsea cable system, the first fiber cable connecting Canada to Asia.

The U.S. Department of Commerce finalized its long-term partnership agreement with Natcast to manage the National Semiconductor Technology Center (NSTC) under an agreement with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). Valued at up to $6.3 billion, this award solidifies Natcast’s role in advancing U.S. leadership in semiconductor research, development, and workforce ecosystem building, aligning with the vision outlined in the CHIPS and Science Act.

The U.S. Department of Commerce has announced the finalization of $1.4 billion in award s under the CHIPS National Advanced Packaging Manufacturing Program (NAPMP). These funds aim to strengthen the United States’ leadership in semiconductor advanced packaging, creating a self-sustaining, high-volume domestic industry where advanced node chips are manufactured and packaged within the country. This initiative supports America’s efforts to bridge the gap between innovation and commercialization in the semiconductor sector.

Sabey Data Centers announced the appointment of Tim Mirick, who has served as Chief Revenue Officer since 2012, as its next president. He replaces Rob Rockwood, who stepped down from his role as president after eight years of service.

GlobalFoundries plans to establish the New York Advanced Packaging and Photonics Center at its Malta, New York, manufacturing facility. This first-of-its-kind center, supported by investments from New York State and the U.S. Department of Commerce, will focus on advanced packaging and testing for U.S.-made semiconductors used in critical industries such as AI, automotive, aerospace, defense, and communications. The initiative addresses the growing demand for silicon photonics and 3D/heterogeneously integrated (HI) chips, aiming to create a secure, end-to-end domestic semiconductor supply chain.
