The transistor is the basic technology behind, well, everything in modern computing. In digital circuits, a transistor acts ...

We’re only 7 years from the next evolution in transistors ...

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 ...

The future began 75 years ago this week with the invention of something small that’s considered the most manufactured item in human history. Odds are, you are surrounded by them right now. The ...

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

Perovskites are a class of materials with a unique crystal structure that suits applications such as fabricating solar cells, ...

On Thursday, IBM announced a breakthrough in integrated circuit design: the world’s first 2 nanometer process. IBM says its new process can produce CPUs capable of either 45 percent higher performance ...

Conventional silicon-based electronics are rapidly approaching a fundamental barrier. Below about five nanometers, quantum effects make their behavior unpredictable. That’s led to research into ...

THANKS to the exponential power of Moore’s law, the electronic components that run modern computers vastly outnumber all the leaves on the Earth’s trees. Chris Mack, a chipmaking expert, working from ...

In the era of big data and artificial intelligence, a new approach has emerged for solving combinatorial optimization ...
