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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Electronic devices like computers and smartphones are continually getting thinner and smaller. One of the challenges to thinner and smaller devices in the future is reducing the size of the internal ...

Silicon chip manufacturers like Intel and TSMC are constantly outdoing themselves to make ever smaller features, but they are getting closer to the physical limits of silicon. “We already have very, ...

Computer chips might be in short supply at the moment, but chipmakers will continue wringing more power out of them for a while yet it seems. Researchers at IBM have demonstrated a way to squeeze more ...

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 ...

Scientists made a single-molecule transistor using quantum interference to control electron flow. This new design offers high on/off ratio and stability, potentially leading to smaller, faster, and ...
