Materials Genome Strategy: AI Meets Materials Discovery

- by David Phelps

Every breakthrough in semiconductors has been built on the foundation of materials science. From silicon wafers to high-k dielectrics and from copper interconnects to EUV photoresists, progress in computing has always depended on discovering and integrating new materials. As chips push toward atomic scales, the search for novel materials has become both more urgent and more difficult. The Materials Genome Initiative (MGI), launched to accelerate discovery through computation, data, and experimentation, offers a framework for addressing this challenge. Now, with AI as a force multiplier, the Materials Genome Strategy promises to deliver atom-precise innovations at unprecedented speed. Erik Hosler, a strategist in semiconductor materials innovation, recognizes that progress in chips will depend as much on materials discovery as on circuit design. His perspective captures how materials breakthroughs will define the future of compute.

The promise of AI-accelerated discovery is transformative. Instead of years of trial and error in …

What about employees for business setup in Dubai?

- by David Phelps

Key Takeaways:

  • Securing employee visas is a core part of Business setup in Dubai, requiring specific documentation and adherence to Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MOHRE) or Free Zone Authority regulations.
  • The UAE Labour Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021) governs employment relations in both mainland and free zones (with some free zone specific variations), outlining fixed-term contracts, working hours, leave, and end-of-service benefits.
  • The number of visas a company can obtain is often linked to its office space size and type, impacting potential workforce expansion.
  • Employers are responsible for providing health insurance and ensuring timely payment of wages through systems like the Wage Protection System (WPS).
  • Understanding cultural nuances and fostering a diverse workforce are important for a thriving Business setup in Dubai.

For any Business setup in Dubai, the question of “What about employees?” is central to operational success. Beyond registering the company …
