Altering the very fabric of technophilic society, a multinational team of material scientists have created electric circuits and transistors out of cotton fibers. Two kinds of transistor were created: ...

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

A hybrid Cessna 337 taxied down a Southern California runway and lifted into the air. The plane, a type commonly used as an air taxi between islands, had a traditional gas-powered motor in the nose ...

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 ...

In a 2021 study, scientists at MIT described a new boron nitride material that could be faster and more resilient than your typical computer components. Now a new study from the same MIT lab used that ...

Bioengineers at Stanford University have created the first biological transistor made from genetic materials: DNA and RNA. Dubbed the "transcriptor," this biological transistor is the final component ...

A limiting problem in creating energy-efficient circuits for improved memory and more powerful computers is manufacturing a transistor with reconfigurable properties. As the size of transistors ...

SAN FRANCISCO -- Intel Corp. said Wednesday that it has redesigned the electronic switches on its chips so that computers can keep getting cheaper and more powerful. The switches, known as transistors ...

The number of transistors on a computer chip doubles about every 18 months. This observation, known as Moore’s law, is a nightmare for semiconductor engineers, who are tasked with building chips that ...

In a groundbreaking achievement, scientists have developed the world’s pioneer “living computer” made entirely of cells. This revolutionary invention has the potential to reshape what we perceive as ...
