Asia Tech Wire (Sep 3) -- Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST) will establish a chip research and development facility in the country with Intel, according to Nikkei.

Coming up in three to five years, the new facility will feature extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography equipment.
