Quantum technology has reached a turning point, echoing the early days of modern computing. Researchers say functional quantum systems now exist, but scaling them into truly powerful machines will ...

A new method enables 2D-material semiconductor transistors to be directly integrated onto a fully fabricated 8-inch silicon wafer, which could enable a new generation of transistor technology, denser ...

After dominating the electronics industry for decades, conventional silicon-based transistors are gradually approaching their ...

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 ...

In a nutshell: Back in 2021, a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology made waves by creating an entirely new type of ferroelectric material. Now, those same researchers have one-upped ...

Scientists have previously only gotten 'synaptic transistors' to work under cryogenic conditions, but this is the first that can operate at room temperature — while outperforming today's best-in-class ...

Ok, we’ll admit it. If you asked us what the first transistorized computer was, we would have guessed it was the TC from the University of Manchester. After all, Dr. Wilkes and company were at the ...

Researchers unveil a roadmap for 2D transistor gate stack design, marking a key step toward ultra-efficient chips that could replace silicon technology. For decades, silicon-based CMOS technology has ...

Carbon nanotube field-effect transistors (CNTFETs) represent a transformative advancement in nanoscale electronics, exploiting the unique electrical and mechanical properties of carbon nanotubes.

The telephone company had problems with vacuum tubes, too, and hoped to find something else to use for switching telephone calls. The idea of somehow using semiconductors (solid materials such as ...
