(Nanowerk News) For decades, one material has so dominated the production of computer chips and transistors that the tech capital of the world — Silicon Valley — bears its name. But silicon’s reign ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in a circuit - but not if the transistor "type" is undetectable. Purdue University ...

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 ...

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 ...

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: ...
