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 ...

How the first transistor evolved to meet new and emerging application demands as underlying structures transform and multi-die systems gained further adoption. How transistors have enabled the ...

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 ...

WTF?! Silicon has been the material of choice for the semiconductors that power our electronics for decades. Manufacturers and designers are looking for alternatives as they begin to question how much ...

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 ...

Last month we showed you how to use resistors to reduce voltage. While it's a viable solution for many cases it isn't for others. As noted before, resistors work for devices whose load remains ...

WTF?! A humble toothpaste additive has provided the key to a major breakthrough in the field of edible electronics. Researchers have successfully built the first fully edible transistor using copper ...

IBM this week announced that it has found a way to more easily and quickly move to 32 nanometer manufacturing processes. The company, along with six research partners, said today that it has ...

The two Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) executives pointed to the importance of advanced semiconductor packaging (CoWoS, SoIC, etc.) and the vital role silicon photonics will play in ...
