Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

Intel Corp. said Wednesday that it has redesigned the electronic switches on its chips so that computers can keep getting cheaper and more powerful. The switches, known as transistors, have typically ...

For decades, the transistors on our microchips have become smaller, faster and cheaper. Approximately every two years the number of transistors on commercial chips has doubled - this phenomenon became ...

A team of scientists at the University of California, Berkeley have created a metallic wire made entirely of carbon, setting the stage for research into carbon-based transistors and computers.

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 ...

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 may not last ...

An organic transistor has opened the way to new generations of neuro-inspired computers, capable of responding in a manner similar to the nervous system. The study of the transistor, based on ...

Modern computer chips contain billions of transistors etched onto a fingernail-sized piece of silicon. In fact, a typical smartphone processor now contains on the order of 15 billion transistors—a ...
