Archgen Labs (YC F26) is building skyscrapers for semiconductor chips Shrinking transistors is getting harder. Stacking them makes heat harder to manage. We’re building the tools to design chips in three dimensions. We stack transistors vertically, shorten connections, and optimize timing and heat together. Our foundational model for thermal simulation, predicts temperature roughly 5,000× faster than conventional EDA tools. Our placement engine ranked #1 in HRT’s macro-placement challenge We’re working with some of the largest fabs in the world to tape out our first chip in April 2027

Here are 20 companies that will dominate the AI age: 1/ ASML $ASML is revolutionizing the semiconductor industry by enabling chipmakers to produce the world’s most advanced processors with atomic-scale precision. Shrinking transistors to fit more power into smaller chips faces fundamental physical limits. The industry struggled with escalating costs, slower innovation cycles, and diminishing returns from older lithography methods. With $ASML, the process is radically different, its extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography machines use cutting-edge optics and physics to etch circuitry at the nanometer scale, enabling faster, more energy-efficient, and more powerful chips. This breakthrough is the backbone of progress in AI, cloud computing, smartphones, and virtually every advanced technology. As AI spreads to all aspects of our economies, an ever-growing number of chips is needed, driving demand for ASML machines and maintenance services.

This machine moves faster than a fighter jet while positioning wafers with atomic-scale precision. 🤯 Meet ASML’s EUV lithography technology, one of the most complex machines in semiconductor manufacturing. Inside these systems, wafer stages accelerate at up to 7–8g, while precision sensors measure position thousands of times per second. ASML’s High-NA EXE:5000 can process more than 185 wafers per hour. And the precision is almost hard to comprehend: 60 picometer measurement accuracy smaller than the size of a silicon atom. ASML These machines are used to print the incredibly small patterns that become the transistors inside advanced chips. The engineering behind modern AI hardware is absolutely insane. 🧠 Would you call this one of the most impressive machines ever built? 👇 🏢 Company: ASML ⚠️ This content is shared for informational purposes only.

Chips are like tiny skyscrapers that can have more than 100 layers. The lowest, most critical layers form the transistors, while upper layers route power and signals. For chipmakers, choosing the right lithography for each layer is key to balancing precision and cost.

“Quantum technologies are job creators. We’re not job disruptors.” That was one of the messages our CEO, Niccolo de Masi, shared with Andrew Marr on LBC as they discussed what the next era of computing could mean for economies and societies around the world. Quantum is moving beyond the laboratory. From computing and cybersecurity to sensing and navigation, governments and businesses are starting to consider how these technologies could reshape critical industries and infrastructure, and unlock new opportunities across healthcare, materials science, engineering, logistics and financial services. For IonQ, the opportunity is about more than building powerful quantum systems. It is about helping build the skills, infrastructure, manufacturing capacity and workforce needed to put quantum technology to work. Watch the interview below. #QuantumTechnology #QuantumComputing #Innovation
