(Nanowerk Spotlight) For over fifty years, the relentless miniaturization of silicon transistors has upheld Moore’s Law, delivering exponential leaps in computing power. However, this development ...

STANFORD, Calif. — When Charles Babbage prototyped the first computing machine in the 19th century, he imagined using mechanical gears and latches to control information. ENIAC, the first modern ...

Quantum technology is accelerating out of the lab and into the real world, and a new article argues that the field now stands ...

Researchers built a four-atom-thick transistor combining an atomically thin semiconductor and molecular crystal. It uses ...

Boffins have emerged from their smoke-filled labs, claiming to have created a new type of transistor that can dissipate almost zero heat. This transistor promises to slash energy usage in future ...

Many alternatives to silicon have been proposed over the years. Some are finding their way into computing. When the first transistor was created, in 1947, few could have imagined the eventual impact ...

There are few technologies more fundamental to modern life than the ability to control light with precision. From fiber-optic communications to quantum sensors, the manipulation of photons underpins ...

Researchers from Linköping University in Sweden made a groundbreaking development: they created a functional transistor out of wood. This new transistor could pave the way for much more sustainable ...
