Again... I didn't even read the article but "[redacted to remove bias] University researchers have developed [better] than leading [whatever]." is definitely interesting yet also pointless. Of course research is important, even fundamental, to the production process... but it's not a fair comparison because production, at scale, and economically reliable requires a LOT more constraints!
So the research, regardless of the source, is welcomed but comparing to production rather than comparing to other research labs pushing limits on the same dimensions is not useful.
PS: for my starting "Again" see my post history.
Edit : AFAICT "outperforms the most advanced commercial chips from [...] Belgium’s Interuniversity Microelectronics Centre." IMEC doesn't do commercial chips, just research.
Meh, recently a korean team was in the news for curing cancer. Reality is of course that they simulated a single protein in a precursor pathway... etc... which could possibly contribute into a future concept for a treatment against certain types of cancer.
