A team of scientists at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory have created an ultrathin transistor unlike ...

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 ...

Shrinking computers, faster phones, and smarter gadgets all rely on one tiny component: the transistor. Invented in the 20th century, it’s what powers nearly every modern electronic device.

Forward-looking: The billions of transistors hidden within a single CPU are manufactured to execute just one specific function. A team of Viennese scientists, however, aims to introduce ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Quantum information processing promises to be much faster and more secure than what today’s supercomputers can achieve, but doesn’t exist yet because its building blocks, qubits ...

At the December 2021 IEDM conference (a conference for people who design advanced semiconductors), IBM announced it was turning transistors on their heads to keep Moore’s Law scaling alive. The new ...
