Über die Gründung von Broadcom und deren Mitgründer Henry Samueli: #techhistory

Henry Samueli: Champion of Digital Broadband
In 1991, the few people who had Internet access at home mainly relied on slow dialup lines. Henry Samueli envisioned faster digital broadband. In research at UCLA and at Broadcom, which he cofounded in 1991, Samueli and his team revolutionized digital modems, enabling today's high-speed communications. Awarded the 2025 IEEE Medal of Honor, Samueli's journey from a curious middle schooler to a tech pioneer is inspiring.

On Sept. 1, 1859, British astronomer Richard Carrington observed a brilliant flash of light coming from a gigantic sunspot that was about the same size as J…

The next solar superstorm could wipe out 'all our satellites,' new simulations reveal
New ESA simulations suggest that a solar storm on par with the 1859 Carrington Event could wreak havoc on Earth-orbiting satellites — and it is a question of "when," not "if" this will happen, experts say.
