Nanotronics is a science and technology company that manufactures real things, not just ideas. Think of factories and you tend to think of mass and mess: crowds of people doing low-paid work amidst noise and pollution. Nanotronics is the opposite: There are only a handful of people around and everything is neat and tidy — and pin-drop quite (except, presumably, when the Steinway is played). Nanotronics specializes in applying AI to the manufacturing process in order to eliminate defects and reduce waste. The company designs and produces machines that can detect miniscule variations in products and processes. This means that it depends on having researchers and technicians working side by side. It also produces what it calls “Cubefabs,” modular chip manufacturing facilities that Nanotronics then ships around the world. “We like to build things in city centers,” says Williams.

market volatility has been spurred by a confluence of factors. Weaker-than-anticipated US economic data has ignited concerns about a potential recession, with market estimates now placing its likelihood at 30-35%, a significant increase from the less than 10% projection in June 2024. Adding to the turbulence, the surprise rate hike by the Bank of Japan and the subsequent reversal of yen carry trades have exacerbated market uncertainty. The Indian Rupee has borne the brunt of this volatility, hitting near all-time lows and breaching its previous October 2022 record of INR 83.5. While the Rupee has depreciated in the short term, it has exhibited relative stability compared to other emerging and developed market currencies over the past six months.

fleeing invading Ukrainian troops sought shelter from strangers. Russian parents feared that their children might be sent into battle for the first time. And in a televised crisis meeting Monday, President Vladimir Putin of Russia flipped through a white legal pad, reading aloud from handwritten notes, suggesting that his aides did not have the time to type up a speech for him as they usually do. Ukraine's surprise incursion into a sliver of Russia's Kursk region last week has not shifted the overall course of the war, but it has already struck a blow well beyond the few hundred square miles of Russia that Ukraine now controls: It has thrust a Russian government and society that had largely adapted to war into a new phase of improvisation and uncertainty.

India House', on the freedom fighters who came together in the building.

Columbia University President Minouche Shafik resigned on Wednesday, nearly four months after the Ivy League university's handling of campus protests over Israel's war in Gaza was criticized by pro-Israel and pro-Palestinian sides alike. «It has also been a period of turmoil where it has been difficult to overcome divergent views across our community,» Shafik said in an email to staff and students. «This period has taken a considerable toll on my family, as it has for others in our community.» Shafik said her departure «at this point would best enable Columbia to traverse the challenges ahead.» She said she made the announcement so new leadership could be in place before the new term begins.

Roznov pod Radhostem was best known for its rum-drizzled sweet pies and an open-air museum showing off historical wooden houses. Then came an announcement that stirred the sleepy backwater. US chipmaker ON Semiconductor Corp. picked Roznov for a new $2 billion manufacturing hub in June. The past few weeks have seen a flurry of visits by property developers, the head of a local university and government officials followed around by television crews. The interest isn’t surprising given the investment will be the biggest by a foreign company in the Czech Republic for three decades. But it also reflects how there’s more riding on the plan to make a new generation of microchips than the prospects of a corner of central Europe.
