For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is ...

Traditional CMOS chips are fabricated by applying and then etching repeated layers of different materials, applied to a wafer of ultra-pure silicon. The bottom-most layer, also known as the front end ...

The ability to make a very miniature on/off switch changed the world. These tiny switches, known as transistors, make up the basis of all modern computing—they drive your cell phones, your bank ...

Shrinking silicon transistors have reached their physical limits, but a team from the University of Tokyo is rewriting the rules. They've created a cutting-edge transistor using gallium-doped indium ...

Every year, Thomas Kinsman, a senior lecturer in RIT’s department of computer science, dedicates months of his time building demos for an “Interactive Computing Zoo” to engage and educate visitors to ...

Taiwanese manufacturer TSMC will begin producing the chips from the second half of this year. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. On ...

Windows 10 remains one of the most robust versions of the operating system, which is why so many users see no reason to switch to Windows 11. However, this month’s KB5053606 update is proving ...

We asked U.S. teens how common a variety of problems are among students at their school. Anxiety and depression tops the list, with 30% of teens saying it’s extremely or very common at their school.

Pew Research Center conducted this study to understand Americans’ views of problems facing the country. For this analysis, we surveyed 5,086 adults from Jan. 27 to Feb. 2, 2025. Everyone who took part ...

If you want to accentuate the importance of a problem, it seems sensible to explain how prevalent it is. Lots of people are at risk of Alzheimer’s disease. Lots of women carry a gene that makes them ...
