According to Japanese media reports, an earthquake of magnitude 4.0 occurred on the morning of the 12th local time in the eastern coastal area of Fukushima Prefecture, Japan, with a focal depth of 50 kilometers. Fukushima Prefecture has a sense of earthquake in many places, including Urachi-CHO, Langjiang-CHO and Yuye-CHO, among which Urachi is the location of Units 1 to 4 of the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant.

As the political risk premium begins to fall, the won may appreciate to 1,400 against the US dollar.Intel: Breakthrough progress has been made in chip interconnection, and the inter-line capacitance has been reduced by 25%. Recently, Intel OEM announced a major breakthrough in on-chip interconnection technology. The latest subtractive Ruthenium interconnection technology of the company can reduce the inter-line capacitance by up to 25%, effectively improving the on-chip interconnection. According to reports, the subtractive ruthenium interconnection technology has achieved great progress in interconnection miniaturization by using ruthenium, a new, key and alternative metallization material, and using thin film resistivity and airgap. This process does not need an expensive photolithographic air gap exclusion zone around the via, and it can also avoid using a self-aligned via that is selectively etched. When the spacing is less than or equal to 25 nm, the air gap realized by reducing ruthenium interconnection technology can reduce the capacitance between lines by up to 25%, which can be used as a metallization scheme to replace copper damascene process in closely spaced layers. It is reported that this solution is expected to be applied in the future process nodes of Intel OEM. (Sina Technology)
Samsung has lowered its mobile phone production target to 229 million units next year. Samsung Electronics has set a mobile phone production target for 2025, and plans to produce about 229 million smartphones. This goal includes 179.4 million units produced by ourselves and 49.9 million units produced by joint design and manufacturing (JDM). Compared with the initial plan of 237 million units in October this year, this target has been lowered by 7-8 million units, only slightly higher than the shipment forecast for the whole year of 2024.Musk is going to melt the Statue of Liberty? Musk also responded to the rumors of foreign media. Recently, a screenshot appeared on the American network. The content was that CNN published a report saying that Musk, a well-known American entrepreneur, was going to melt the Statue of Liberty in the United States to make a limited edition electric pickup truck. However, Reuters later denied that the CNN report was forged. A spokesman for CNN also told Reuters that the CNN report in the screenshot was forged, and CNN had never published such a report. At present, Musk himself has responded to this matter in a teasing tone on his social platform X. Musk wrote in three posts: "No, I will melt it 1000% (Statue of Liberty)"; "With a laser eye from space"; "and then cast it again before no one notices";Market news: Britain is considering the largest auction of renewable energy subsidies in history.
