Solution-based processing of a field-effect transistor from inorganic nanocrystals. How many transistors did they make? Do they think this can scale up to numbers required for modern devices? For ...

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, the ...

Researchers built a four-atom-thick transistor combining an atomically thin semiconductor and molecular crystal. It uses charge localization and works at room temperature. (Nanowerk News) The ability ...

This year’s top semiconductor stories were mostly about the long and twisting trips a technology takes from idea (or even raw ...

Main game is to stick as many floating-point (or more recently reduced integer) arithmetic units as you can to increase the number of math operations you can do in parallel. LLMs are just giant ...

When you think of Sony, you probably think of a technology company that’s been around forever. However, as [Asianometry] points out, it really formed in the tough years after World War II. The two ...

The world's smallest transistor, made from a mere six atoms of carbon suspended between two gold electrodes, has been created by scientists from Yale University and South Korea. Although transistors, ...

Intel drew the curtain Friday on some of its future research projects to continue making transistors smaller, faster, and less power-hungry out as far as 2020. Intel drew the curtain Friday on some of ...

Chipmaking giants like Intel, Samsung, and TSMC see a future where key parts of silicon transistors are replaced with semiconductors that are only a few atoms thick. Although they’ve reported progress ...

In this lesson, students search for transistor-based devices at school. They use the results of their search to explain the significance of the transistor in their lives. A transistor is a tiny device ...

Over the past century, electronic engineering has improved massively. In the 1920s, a state-of-the-art AM radio contained several vacuum tubes, a few enormous inductors, capacitors and resistors, ...
