Amazon Web Services has struck a licensing agreement worth more than $1 billion with Synopsys, the chip design software giant, giving AWS expanded access to chip design tools and technology. The deal, reported by Yahoo Finance and Quartz, underscores AWS's push to build more of its own silicon for cloud and AI workloads, following its existing Graviton and Trainium chip efforts. It also signals Synopsys's growing role in hyperscaler chip development.

Physics World reports that graviton modes survive on the lattice, according to a new study in lattice approaches to quantum gravity. The finding suggests that gravitational degrees of freedom persist even when spacetime is modelled as a discrete lattice, a result relevant to attempts to quantise gravity non-perturbatively. Physicists are weighing what this means for theories that predicted such modes might be washed out by discretisation.
