Engineers are starting to build hardware that does not just run artificial intelligence, it behaves like a primitive form of ...

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 ...

Transistors that can change properties are important elements in the development of tomorrow's semiconductors. With standard transistors approaching the limit for how small they can be, having more ...

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

The blackwell chip from Nvidia, shovel-maker for the artificial-intelligence (ai) gold rush, contains 208bn transistors spread over two “dies”, pieces of silicon each about 800 square millimetres in ...

A reconfigurable transistor can run AI processes using 100 times less electricity than the standard transistors found in silicon-based chips. It could help spur development of a new generation of ...

Scientists have created an n-channel transistor using diamond for the first time, potentially leading to faster components that can work in extreme conditions. When you purchase through links on our ...

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 ...
