This latest addition within the nSpec® portfolio enables automatic capture and analysis of images to detect and quantify defects and features of interest. The small footprint of the device allows for operators to have a desktop tool that can immediately produce high resolution images, successfully identifying and defining causality to these features of interest.
“The addition of this system to our product portfolio enables earlier detection of device killing defects to further reduce customer costs and waste,” said Matthew Putman, PhD, CEO and co-founder of Nanotronics. “Providing manufacturers with the ability to significantly increase production yields, particularly during a time when strict quality standards should be of the utmost importance, seems like the most effective and efficient way to help mitigate the supply chain crisis.”
The nSpec Macro system is designed for inspection of bare or patterned wafers up to 200mm. The system provides full sample illumination and the ability to individually modify the LEDs to adjust intensity, color, and location of illumination for complete flexibility. The minimum defect resolution ranges from 50 to 100 microns, contingent on field of view or wafer sizes.
“We are so pleased to come out of the gate with nSpec Macro on the heels of opening our European office,” said Julie Orlando, Chief Product Officer of Nanotronics. “This latest device, along with our new subscription model, will provide easier access to quality control for manufacturers across industries.”
**Nanotronics will provide onsite demonstrations at SemiCon Europa from Tuesday, November 16th – Friday, November 19th, exhibiting in booth # B1.141.

Post-Quantum’s Algorithm - Classic McEliece - Achieves Global ISO Standardization to Protect the World From Quantum Cyber Attack15.7.2026 11:00:00 EEST | Press release
It’s proven that today’s encryption is vulnerable to attack by a sufficiently mature quantum computer running Shor’s algorithm - a catastrophic event commonly known as Q-Day. Even before such a cryptographically relevant quantum computer emerges it is known that adversaries are stealing encrypted data now, which can be decrypted later - also known as Harvest Now, Decrypt Later (HNDL). Google’s recent use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to optimise Shor’s algorithm reduces the number of physical qubits required to break today’s encryption, therefore shortening the timeline to Q-Day. This has led prominent experts to estimate today’s encryption may be broken as-soon-as the next three years. It’s against this backdrop that the International Organisation for Standardisation (ISO) has included the Classic McEliece algorithm as part of its standard for Asymmetric Ciphers (ISO/IEC 18033-2). Organisations from ISO’s 177 member states can now upgrade to Classic McEliece using an international s
Thredd Joins The Visa Agentic Ready Programme, Bringing Agent Network Readiness To Issuers Across Europe, Starting With Zilch15.7.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Press release
Thredd, the AI-first issuer processing platform, today announced it has joined the Visa Agentic Ready programme, enabling issuers across Europe to participate in agent-initiated payments without rebuilding their payments infrastructure. Consumer payments platform Zilch will be among the first issuers on the platform to enable agent-initiated payments for its cardholders. As a processor and enabler, Thredd sits at the trust layer of the payments ecosystem. By joining the programme, Thredd is ready to support Visa and its clients as the market moves into agentic commerce. Agentic commerce introduces a new type of payment initiator: An AI agent acting on a cardholder's behalf. The core payments principles do not change. Cardholder permission, issuer approval, authentication and fraud monitoring all still apply. What changes is how trust is established and enforced at the point an agent transacts. Taking a Zilch customer as an example, a cardholder might ask an AI agent to find a product w
Surgerii Robotics Announces First European Installation of the SHURUI ® Single-Port Surgical System at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital15.7.2026 10:00:00 EEST | Press release
Surgerii Robotics today announced the first European installation of its SHURUI Single-Port (SP) Surgical System at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona, Spain, one of Europe's leading academic medical centers. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260713209503/en/ The first pediatric procedure performed with the SHURUI SP system was a nephroureterectomy on a twelve-year-old boy whose kidney and ureter had become infected and non-functional due to multiple stones. The SHURUI SP system is CE-marked for adult and pediatric use, making it the only CE-marked single-port robotic surgical system currently indicated for pediatric procedures in Europe. The installation marks an important milestone in the international expansion of Surgerii Robotics and the introduction of the technology into a major European reference center. As part of this collaboration, Vall d'Hebron University Hospital has become the first hos
