The IP is the chip A measured 7‑nanometer chip, then nine owned-IP elements layered on. The counter climbs from 1 petaops to 1.08 zettaops per part. 0:45 · 2026-10-12
One trigger, three strands The Photon Chromosome: one pulse of light at the gate opens photon, electron and atomic compute on the same clock. 0:35 · 2026-10-12
Owned since 2017 Entries from a dated 2017 register — stacked blanks, vertical stilts, solid-state threading — mapped to the parts of the AutoPhi chip they predicted. 0:30 · 2026-10-12
A battery is the chip without the processing The quantum battery is the AutoPhi part with compute removed and everything else kept. Same substrate; the cells fire in step instead of on their own. 0:35 · 2026-10-12
Hand on a chip NRS-1: AutoPhi silicon that runs at normal temperature, 30 degrees Celsius, lifted bare-handed. No deep-cold chamber, no vacuum pump, no lab suit. 0:35 · 2026-10-13
The 3D stack Two routed tiers suspend apart, thousands of vertical vias ignite between them — signal, power, thermal — and the top tier docks flush onto the bottom. Two dies, one chip. 0:32 · 2026-10-13
Vertical threading Eighteen wafers stack as one chip. Thousands of signal, power and thermal columns thread top-to-bottom through the whole stack. Not laid flat; threaded through. 0:28 · 2026-10-13
Inside the GDSII A routed AutoPhi die splits into its thirteen SKY130 drawing layers — diffusion, poly, local interconnect, met1 through met5 — and lifts apart for a tour. 0:38 · 2026-10-13
A chip you can hold An actual board on a workbench. The power LED turns on. A USB-C cable plugs in. A multimeter probe reads back a real number. A counter to the "it's all AI pictures" assumption. 0:22 · 2026-10-13
The ring, not the stack The old picture was a stack of torque plates with a pulse running up it. EMICs actually pull and push on one another with impulses, round a ring: pull ahead, push behind. 1:00 · 2026-10-14
Send, not compute QBeam is a wireless chain, not a processor. Chip A sends, chip B receives, and only two classical bits cross the air. 0:50 · 2026-10-14
Standard, driver, part How NRS-1 was built, in order: a spec sheet with its temperatures, the driver that enforces it, and the part with the block inside. Patent pending. 1:10 · 2026-10-14
What alchemy data is Element tiles combine into compound tiles, an overlap grid of 16 categories lights one cell, and a lead then goes to a grade on the published evidence. A starting point for further research. 1:00 · 2026-10-14
