MIT engineers built a magnetic transistor from chromium sulfur bromide, promising smaller, faster electronics with built-in ...

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has ...

The smaller electronic components become, the more complex their manufacture becomes. This has been a major problem for the ...

Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for the development of advanced biomedical devices that could be ...

When you think of Sony, you probably think of a technology company that’s been around forever. However, as [Asianometry] points out, it really formed in the tough years after World War II. The two ...

There was no doubt about it, point-contact transistors were fidgety. The transistors being made by Bell just didn't work the same way twice, and on top of that, they were noisy. While one lab at Bell ...

A new magnetic transistor switches current ten times more strongly than silicon chips while operating at lower energy, and ...

A new breakthrough could make chips smaller, faster, and use less energy even for cold quantum devices. Find out more!

A Planet Analog article, “ 2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor? ” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old ...

MIT engineers developed a magnetic transistor that could lead to smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient electronics, using a magnetic semiconductor material.

MIT researchers with colleagues from the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague have used 2D CrSBr, a van der Waals ...

Because the new transistor — dubbed the "cryo-CMOS transistor" — is optimized to operate at temperatures under 1 K and emit near-zero heat, it offers plenty of advantages over traditional electronics, ...
