Over the years, scientists and engineers have been able to make transistors tinier and tinier. With the invention of the integrated circuit, or microchip, in which thousands or millions of transistors ...

In the same way that a pillow filled with pebbles is harder to get smooth than one stuffed with sand, chip makers are finding it harder to make transistors behave predictably as they shrink. Here ...

Researchers developed a superconducting nanowire that could enable efficient, easy-to-make electronics. The advance could boost quantum computing, as well as magnetic sensors for applications in ...

IBM and six partners have found a way to use high-k materials in its transistor design, enabling a move to 32nm manufacturing processes.
