(Nanowerk Spotlight) For over fifty years, the relentless miniaturization of silicon transistors has upheld Moore’s Law, delivering exponential leaps in computing power. However, this development ...

For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is ...

Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

As transistors are scaled to smaller dimensions, their static power increases. Combining two-dimensional (2D) channel materials with complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) logic architectures ...

A new article examines the history of computing to help outline the direction of quantum research. It reports that quantum ...

Researchers built a four-atom-thick transistor combining an atomically thin semiconductor and molecular crystal. It uses ...

Computing Transparent transistors printed on transparent paper: Flexible, green computers incoming Researchers at the University of Maryland, College Park have printed transparent transistors on ...

Year after year, semiconductor manufacturers scale down the size of components, making processors faster and more efficient. However, we're approaching the limits of atomic scale with silicon, leading ...

An organic transistor has opened the way to new generations of neuro-inspired computers, capable of responding in a manner similar to the nervous system. The study of the transistor, based on ...
