The big picture: The global company showed how it plans to continue increasing transistor density over the next several years. It also believes that the semiconductor industry will transition to ...

Modern humans have existed for around 300,000 years, and in all the time we've been here, we've made a lot of things. In the early days, homo sapiens fashioned tools from flint and other materials, ...

Tokyo, Japan – Hailed as one of the greatest inventions of the 20 th century, transistors are integral components of modern electronics that amplify or switch electrical signals. As electronics become ...

For decades, compute architectures have relied on dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) as their main memory, providing temporary storage from which processing units retrieve data and program code. The ...

The act of a transistor changing its state from on to off or off to on. Also called a "transistor state change," the number of transistor toggles that take place within a computer, tablet or ...

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 ...

Amorphous oxide semiconductors like IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) offer acceptable carrier mobility with very low leakage.

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 ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Computing systems have made impressive progress, but they still fall short when compared to the human brain’s energy efficiency and adaptability. Biological neurons handle complex ...
