For decades, chipmakers kept Moore’s Law alive by shrinking transistors sideways, etching ever-finer features into flat slabs ...

As traditional chip miniaturization slows, researchers have found a way to pack more computing power into the same space by stacking silicon circuits in multiple layers. The new process uses ...

For decades, the speed of transistors has been approaching its physical limit. Now, researchers have built a new type of ...

Researchers have created a new theoretical framework that shows how memory-preserving "memtransistors" could overcome the ...

Use left and right arrow keys to seek audio. For roughly six decades, the semiconductor industry has followed a simple and reliable formula: make transistors smaller, pack more of them onto a chip, ...

Huawei is pioneering a new 'Tau Scaling' principle for chip design, moving beyond Moore's Law. It focuses on reducing signal ...

Nanoscale 3D transistors made from ultrathin semiconductor materials can operate more efficiently than silicon-based devices, leveraging quantum mechanical properties to potentially enable ...

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

Another analyst and friend posed a question to a number of his acquaintances: "How many transistors have shipped since the first one was devised back in 1947?" I thought this was interesting and put ...

Two independent research groups report the first transistors built entirely of two-dimensional electronic materials, making the devices some of the thinnest yet. The transistors, just a few atoms ...

Transistors have been made from single molecules, where the flow of electrons is controlled by modulating the energy of the molecular orbitals. Insight from such systems could aid the development of ...
