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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Graphene has the power to change computing forever by making the fastest transistors ever. In theory. We just haven't figured out how yet. Sound familiar?

They found that transistors made with this material could carry significantly more electrical current, making them more efficient. The discovery made them curious about what else tellurium could do ...

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

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.

Researchers at two Swedish universities recently unveiled the world's first electrical transistor built from conductive wood. While it performs nowhere near as well as modern silicon transistors, ...

Researchers have managed to build a transistor out of a single molecue and a number of atoms, and it is the smallest transistor ever made. The news follows advancements made by IBM, which created ...
