Duke engineers show how a common device architecture used to test 2D transistors overstates their performance prospects in real-world devices.

Advances in materials and architecture could lead to silicon-free chip manufacturing thanks to a new type of transistor.

Cornell researchers have used high-resolution 3D imaging to detect, for the first time, the atomic-scale defects in computer chips that can sabotage their performance. The imaging method, which was ...

For almost two decades, scientists have been trying to move beyond silicon, the material ...

A bioelectronic engineer, Klas Tybrandt of Linkoping University in Sweden, has built the first "ion transistor" computer chip, which uses chemical ions and biological molecules as charge carriers ...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Intel Corp. said Wednesday that it has redesigned the electronic switches on its chips so that computers can keep getting cheaper and more powerful. The switches, known as ...

No postwar industry has grown faster than electronics, and no electronic devices have paid off more handsomely than semiconductors—the tiny, spiderlike transistors, diodes, rectifiers that perform the ...

For the past six years, Intel has been working on building a full-stack commercial quantum system based on the silicon spin qubits using its expertise in silicon transistor design, high-volume ...

A new record has been set for extremely precise control over qubits, the building blocks of quantum computers. This advance could lead to quantum computers that make fewer errors – if it can be ...

A single electron makes the difference between “on” and “off” for a new transistor made from a single carbon nanotube, whose minute size and low-energy requirements should make it an ideal device for ...

Probably the most important invention of the 2oth Century was the transistor. The first point contact transistor shown below was made at Bell Laboratories. The workbench of John Bardeen and Walter ...
