Hacker [Dino Segovis] is back with yet another installment of his Hack a Week series, and it’s looking like he isn’t too worse for wear after hunkering down to face hurricane Irene. This week, it ...

Physicists in Germany and the US have made a single-electron transistor that operates using a nanometre-scale vibrating arm. The device was built using a simple two-step process and does not need to ...

Physicists have used a scanning tunneling microscope to create a minute transistor consisting of a single molecule and a small number of atoms. The observed transistor action is markedly different ...

The continuous scaling of transistors in the last half of century has been the driving force for electronics. The channel length of the transistors in production today is below 100nm. A wide variety ...

Duke engineers show how a common device architecture used to test 2D transistors overstates their performance prospects in real-world devices.

In a world filled with high-tech robotics kits and programmable gadgets, one artist decided ...

For any given processor it’s generally easy to find a statistic on the number of transistors used to construct it, with the famous Intel 8086 CPU generally said to contain 29,000 transistors. This is ...

Lab architecture used to test 2D semiconductors artificially boosts performance metrics, making it harder to assess whether these materials can truly replace silicon.

Not a junction in sight: transistor first proposed in 1925 Researchers in Ireland have succeeded in making the first junctionless transistor ever. The device, which resembles a structure first ...
