(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 ...

On Oct. 3, 1950, three scientists at Bell Labs in New Jersey received a U.S. patent for what would become one of the most important inventions of the 20th century — the transistor. John Bardeen, ...

A team of scientists at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory have created an ultrathin transistor unlike ...

Yup, Nvidia has become the world's first $5 trillion company. Truly, these numbers are getting silly. Of course, it really, ...

Boffins have emerged from their smoke-filled labs, claiming to have created a new type of transistor that can dissipate almost zero heat. This transistor promises to slash energy usage in future ...

This video explains how transistors work as switches and amplifiers in electronic circuits. Transistors control the flow of ...

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 ...

Researchers at the University of Maryland, College Park have printed transparent transistors on transparent paper. The finished device is flexible, up to 84% transparent, and in theory this could be ...

A new paper published in PLOS One shows that mushrooms can act as the "memristors" required for many next-gen computing ...

Quantum computing’s big hurdle is error correction. Getting qubits to work together – or even stay in existence for longer ...
