In a nutshell: Back in 2021, a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology made waves by creating an entirely new type of ferroelectric material. Now, those same researchers have one-upped ...

For the past six years, Intel has been working on building a full-stack commercial quantum system based on the silicon spin qubits using its expertise in silicon transistor design, high-volume ...

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 ...

A new method enables 2D-material semiconductor transistors to be directly integrated onto a fully fabricated 8-inch silicon wafer, which could enable a new generation of transistor technology, denser ...

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 production of semiconductors, also known as chips, has become a strategic priority in Europe as well as the United States, after the shock of the pandemic choked ...

Probably the most important invention of the 2oth Century was the transistor. The first point contact transistor shown below was made at Bell Laboratories. The workbench of John Bardeen and Walter ...
