The production of transistors is a complex process and it needs a specialized environment (high temperature) and sophisticated equipment (capable of producing a high vacuum). To make the process of ...

Every computer chip is built from a switch smaller than anything the human eye can resolve, and for decades engineers have made those switches shrink, generation after generation, so more of them fit ...

Startup S-Transistor says it can make superconducting transistors at scale ...

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 ...

USC-led SWIFT project aims to reinvent the transistor using waves of magnetism, potentially slashing energy use and cooling costs, while helping GPS resist jamming ...

Direct imaging shows that the contacts through which current flows into atomically thin transistors can be scaled down to just a few nanometres in length. Read the paper: Directly probing the carrier ...

Why was the transistor such a big deal? Until the late 1940s, electronics relied on vacuum tubes, glass bulbs that used a delicate filament inside a vacuum to moderate the flow of electrons. Vacuum ...
