What does 5nm even mean? It’s not about tiny ants, but it is a big deal for how your gadgets work. The size, measured in ...

As it turns out, the answer is not 42, it’s 42.3 — thousand. That’s how many discrete transistors spread across the 30 m 2 room housing this massive computation machine. [James Newman’s] Megaprocessor ...

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 ...

These prototype processors made from atomically thin materials offer a glimpse into a post-silicon-transistor future, but scaling challenges remain. Read the paper: A complementary two-dimensional ...

The number of transistors on a computer chip doubles about every 18 months. This observation, known as Moore’s law, is a nightmare for semiconductor engineers, who are tasked with building chips that ...

Downscaling of electronic devices, such as transistors, has reached a plateau, posing challenges for semiconductor fabrication. However, a research team led by materials scientists recently discovered ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) In the field of computing, the electronic transistor has long been the dominant technology. Since its invention in 1947, this tiny device has become the foundation of modern ...

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 research team led by Professor Jae Eun Jang and Dr. Goeun Pyo from the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer ...

What just happened? A team of researchers at MIT, in collaboration with Georgia Tech and the Air Force Research Laboratory, has developed a new method for integrating gallium nitride (GaN) transistors ...
