- March 2021, Samsung is ramping up production of EUV scanners capable of competing with the world's largest foundry, TSMC. EUV scanners, as opposed to traditional machines, optimize the chip fabrication process by decreasing the number of photolithography procedures required to build finer circuits, forcing major chipmakers to compete for the technology.
- June 2022, ASML launched a new technology education program alongside Mad Science. The ASL Junior Academy initiative will provide technology teaching to all 271 primary schools in the Brainport-Eindhoven region. This means that Mad Science will teach around 60,000 children about technology each year through the curriculum. The ASML Junior Academy will begin in fifty primary schools in September.
