➀ MIT engineers have developed a method to create thin electronic 'skins' that could lead to devices like sensors and imaging systems without cooling systems, potentially useful for night-vision glasses and autonomous driving in foggy conditions.

➁ The method involves growing semiconductor materials using remote epitaxy, allowing the film to peel off and be reused, which may extend to other types of electronics.

➂ Researchers are exploring the application of this technology in full night-vision systems and other areas such as environmental and biological sensing, as well as space signal detection.

➀ TrendForce表示,美国关税的未来走向将是影响下半年内存供需和定价的关键因素;

➁ 90天的宽限期暂时缓解了因新关税壁垒导致的需求损失担忧,但美国贸易政策方向的持续不确定性使得内存买家更加谨慎——通过增加DRAM和NAND库存水平作为应对供应风险的缓冲;

➂ 这种积极的库存积累扩大了第二季度的DRAM和NAND Flash预期合同价格上涨,但这种上涨可能是短暂的,因为美国品牌和出口商的需求,他们对关税变化更为敏感,已经大量提前到第一季度,打破了季节性趋势。
