Microchips Australia is a company that distributes RFID microchips and readers for

various applications such as companion animals, wildlife research, aquaculture and

asset management12.
ASML is a company that makes machines that produce microchips using a technique
called lithography, which uses light to etch patterns on silicon wafers3.
Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce are credited as the co-inventors of the microchip in
1958-1959, independently developing the idea of integrating electronic components
on a single piece of silicon4.
Moore’s law is an observation that the number of transistors on a microchip doubles
about every two years, leading to exponential increases in computing power and
performance5.
Neuralink is a company founded by Elon Musk that aims to develop implantable
microchips that can interface with the human brain and enable direct communication
with machines.

There are many recent space discoveries that are fascinating and exciting. Here are
some examples:

The largest-known comet to date: Scientists discovered Comet Bernardinelli-

Bernstein, which is 10 times wider and 1,000 times more massive than a typical
comet. It has not visited the inner solar system for about 3 million years and will
make its closest approach to Earth in 20311.
A new moon around Jupiter: An amateur astronomer detected a tiny moon orbiting
Jupiter, bringing the total number of known Jovian moons to 80. The moon, named
Ersa, is only about 2 miles (3 kilometers) wide and takes about 2.5 years to
complete one orbit1.
More water on the moon: New research revealed that there may be more water on the
moon than previously thought, including on its sunlit surface. This water could be
a valuable resource for future lunar exploration and colonization2.
New planets in deep space: NASA surpassed 5,000 confirmed exoplanets, which are
alien worlds beyond our solar system. These include a diversity of distant planets,
such as super-Earths, gas giants, ice giants, and potentially habitable worlds3.
The oldest strand of the cosmic web: Astronomers using the James Webb Space
Telescope discovered a clump of ancient galaxies that may be the oldest strand of
the cosmic web ever detected. The cosmic web is the large-scale structure of the
universe, consisting of filaments of dark matter and gas that connect galaxies and
clusters4.
