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 ...

Engineers from MIT say that stacking circuit components on top of each other could be the answer to creating more ...

Every few years, we hear about someone building a computer from first principles. This doesn’t mean getting a 6502 or Z80, wiring it up, and running BASIC. I’m talking about builds from the ground up, ...

Trawling classified ads or sites like Craigslist for interesting hardware is a pastime enjoyed by many a hacker. At a minimum, you can find good deals on used tools and equipment. But if you’re very ...

The crystal ball is murky beyond the 7-nm node. Transistors made with carbon nanotubes as the channel material hold special promise because of the ultra-thin body of the carbon nanotube of about one ...

March 29, 1961 - LOGICAL microcircuits in transistor cans are now being offered by four major companies. Heavy research and production is being pressed by Fairchild Semiconductor Corp., Raytheon Co., ...

A technical paper titled “Analysis of Logic-in-Memory Full Adder Circuit With Floating Gate Field Effect Transistor (FGFET)” was published by researchers at Konkuk University, Korea National ...

THE electron, one of the fundamental particles of nature, carries an electric charge. But it also possesses a second property, called spin. Charge is responsible for electricity, while spin underlies ...

In what is likely a major breakthrough for quantum computing, researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia have managed for the first time to build the fundamental blocks of ...
