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 ...

Chipmaking giants like Intel, Samsung, and TSMC see a future where key parts of silicon transistors are replaced with semiconductors that are only a few atoms thick. Although they’ve reported progress ...

In this lesson, students search for transistor-based devices at school. They use the results of their search to explain the significance of the transistor in their lives. A transistor is a tiny device ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA – Silicon transistors, which are used to amplify and switch signals, are a critical component in most electronic devices, from smartphones to automobiles. But silicon semiconductor ...

For nearly two decades, two‑dimensional (2D) semiconductors have been studied as a complement or possible successor to silicon transistors, promising smaller, faster and more energy‑efficient ...

Indium antimonide doesn't exactly have a ring to it, but the compound could help chipmakers advance in the next decade. Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET News.com, where he covers hardware, ...

A team of researchers has unveiled a first-of-its-kind stable and fully solid-state thermal transistor that uses an electric field to control a semiconductor device's heat movement. The group's study ...

My first thought when reading this is why not use FPGAs for secure hardware? They're already proven, sufficiently performant, reliable, affordable and widely available. Design a secure enclave with ...
