A new approach could help make future AI chips smaller and more energy-efficient. A KAIST-led research team has used a single ...

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has ...

The basic concept of using bacteria to fabricate logic elements. Why this new approach differs from previous approaches in ...

Researchers at Kyoto University have built a silicon carbide transistor that keeps working normally at temperatures up to ...

Inside there's a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core. When a current flows through this control wire, it creates a magnetic field. This pulls down the metal switch on top, which contacts the ...

A RIKEN study shows that squeezing the right amount of potassium ions between the atomic layers of molybdenum disulfide can turn it from a semiconductor into a metal, superconductor or insulator. The ...

A transdisciplinary Northwestern University research team has developed a revolutionary transistor that is expected be ideal for lightweight, flexible, high-performance bioelectronics. The ...

Hanyang University researchers built a compact electronic skin sensor that detects touch, pressure and proximity.

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 ...

The history of the transistor and similar types. How transistors made an impact on the world. How grudges eventually subside. Transistors are simple electronic devices that boost or switch electrical ...
