Tony Fadelwho as the initial iPhone project leader arguably made one of the most important chip decisions in the technology business, joined the board of directors of Arm on Thursday to help the processor designer’s expansion into new corners of our digital lives.

Fadell’s push to use the Arm family of chips in the iPod and iPhone cemented Arm’s position on the ground floor of the smartphone business. Arm processors are now penetrating the personal computer market thanks to Apple’s M1 and M2 processors and data centers with chip designs like Amazon’s Graviton.

In an exclusive interview, Fadell said he expects his experience designing complete products will help UK-based Arm steer its processor designs.

“I can bring a more system level mentality… I think about the end customer,” said Fadell, now a principal at investment and consulting firm Build Collective, which until Thursday was named Future Shape. He understands how a chip combines with memory, power supplies, sensors and other components to make a full product, he said.

He joins Arm during a crucial time. The company hopes its processor designs will fuel a dramatic increase in the number and importance of digital devices in our lives. That’ll show in devices like autonomous vehicles, smartwatches and security video cameras and in online services like the digital assistants built into smart speakers.

Fadell picked Arm chips for the iPod digital music players but had to push harder to use them in the iPhone since former Apple Chief Executive

The demise of a spacecraft is usually something rather poignant. But two weeks ago, NASA celebrated one’s destruction.

On September 26, NASA executed the final stage of the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART), in which a spacecraft intentionally crashed into the asteroid Dimorphos to investigate whether such an impact could deflect an Earth-bound stellar object. A successful collision was the first cause for celebration, but now there’s even more reason to cheer. NASA has officially determined the DART mission a success, revealing in a press conference today that Dimorphos’ orbit has changed significantly due to the impact.

In crashing DART into Dimorphos, planetary defense researchers hoped the spacecraft’s kinetic energy would transfer to the asteroid, altering its path. In theory, the same method could be used to protect Earth from an incoming asteroid. (For what it’s worth, neither Dimorphos nor the larger asteroid Didymos, which it orbits, poses a threat to our planet.)

For mission success, DART needed to change Dimorphos’ nearly 12-hour orbital period around Didymos by at least 73 seconds. After two weeks of observations, the team revealed a 32-minute change in Dimorphos’ orbital period — more than 25 times longer than the benchmark for success.

“This result is one important step toward understanding the full effect of DART’s impact with its target asteroid,” Lori Glaze, director of NASA’s Planetary Science Division, said in a press release. “As new data come in each day, astronomers will be able to better assess whether, and how, a mission like
