Shrinking computers, faster phones, and smarter gadgets all rely on one tiny component: the transistor. Invented in the 20th century, it’s what powers nearly every modern electronic device.

In the era of big data and artificial intelligence, a new approach has emerged for solving combinatorial optimization ...

Round co-led by DCVC and Kembara, with participation from the British Business Bank and Firgun, positions stealthy Quantum Motion as UK’s best-funded quantum computing company. Quantum Motion’s ...

Silicon-Germanium Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors (SiGe HBTs) represent a critical advancement in semiconductor technology, integrating a silicon base with germanium to markedly enhance frequency ...

IBM claims to have developed the world’s smallest working silicon transistor. At 6 nanometers in length (a nanometer, nm, is one-billionth of a meter), the new transistor is at least 10 times smaller ...

In a bold challenge to silicon s long-held dominance in electronics, Penn State researchers have built the world s first working CMOS computer entirely from atom-thin 2D materials. Using molybdenum ...

These days, we’re seeing Silicon being used less and less. Many new chargers on the market are ditching Silicon for Gallium-Nitride or GaN because it can keep the charging brick cooler, using less ...

For over 75 years, silicon has been the dominant material in the evolution of modern electronics, powering everything from smartphones to satellites. But as chipmakers push toward smaller nodes, ...
