At 13.5 nanometers, EUV light doesn't exist naturally on earth in a usable form. So one company figured out how to create it by shooting molten tin droplets with a laser, twice, at 50,000 droplets per second. That company is ASML. And without them, there are no chips, AI, phones. Nothing…! Every advanced semiconductor on earth, NVIDIA's H100s, Apple's M-series, Qualcomm, AMD, Broadcom, runs through one machine ASML makes, and one factory in Taiwan that runs it. 90% of the world's most advanced chips. 00:00 The Company That Could Stop the Global Economy 00:40 Why Every Device You Own Needs Chips 01:24 Why Chips Can't Get Any Smaller 01:49 What Is ASML and What Is EUV Lithography 02:33 How EUV Light Is Made With Molten Tin and Lasers 03:04 The Most Precise Mirrors Ever Built 04:24 5,000 Suppliers, 40 Countries, One Machine 05:46 How TSMC Became the World's Most Important Chip Manufacturer 07:06 Why 90% of Advanced Chips Are Made in Taiwan 08:02 The Semiconductor Supply Chain Has No Bac
