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 ...

Computer researchers have fashioned infinitesimally tiny electronic switches using conventional chipmaking equipment, demonstrating that the semiconductor industry will be able to continue shrinking ...

The prediction that transistor counts on microchips would keep doubling every two years gave the tech industry its growth engine for decades. That engine is losing speed. As physical limits squeeze ...

What does 5nm even mean? It’s not about tiny ants, but it is a big deal for how your gadgets work. The size, measured in ...

For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is running into hard physical limits. A new approach from MIT aims to sidestep ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists have literally taken a leap into a new era of computing power by making the world's smallest precision-built transistor - a "quantum dot" of just seven atoms in a single ...

Researchers developed a dual-modulated vertically stacked transistor that eliminates current leakage at nanoscale channel lengths, advancing low-power 3D chip integration.

DARPA-funded IBM researchers today said they have developed a human brain-inspired computer chip loaded with more than 5 billion transistors and 256 million “synapses,” or programmable logic points, ...

Researchers developed a dual-modulated vertical transistor that suppresses leakage at nanoscale channels and supports ...
