A new transistor design out of the University of Cambridge could allow electronic devices to function for months or even years without a battery charge—or even a battery. This comes out of a ...

One possibility is graphene, which various teams around the world have used to make hugely fast transistors. Last year, one team clocked a graphene transistor at a cool 427 GHz.

Over the years, scientists and engineers have been able to make transistors tinier and tinier. With the invention of the integrated circuit, or microchip, in which thousands or millions of transistors ...

For those we're going to employ the components that make things like portable radios and computers possible: transistors. What follows are ways to use three common variants of the transistor.

How chip manufacturers choose to make this transistor design compatible with their processes would determine the availability of this level of security.

This electric-field-induced topological phase transition could be used to create transistors: in an 'on' state, current would flow without dissipation through edge states, whereas applying an ...

Physicist William Shockley’s homecoming to a little-known region of California helped transform the area into a technology hub.

The world's smallest transistor, made from only six atoms of carbon suspended between two gold electrodes, has been created by scientists from the US and South Korea. Transistors amplify or switch ...

Intel says fabrication of the chip will be the first large-volume production of three-dimensional transistors. The new chips are 37 percent faster than the company’s current ones when operating ...

How the transistor helped create Silicon Valley Physicist William Shockley’s homecoming to a little-known region of California helped transform the area into a technology hub.
