Under fluorescent light, the device looks less like a computer than a tiny constellation of dots. The specks are actually ...

Bacterial transistors and relay strains can be combined into living circuits that process signals and perform calculations.

An alloy material called InGaAs could be suitable for high-performance computer transistors, according to researchers. If operated at high-frequencies, InGaAs transistors could one day rival those ...

However you make a digital computer, you need something to represent a binary digit. Usually this is some form of switch: a ...

The transistor has been evolved by a team of researchers with the Vienna University of Technology. This was achieved by tapping into the Germanium. The team developed a new, adaptive transistor design ...

To take chip designs to the next level, IBM and Samsung are researching how to build semiconductor transistors vertically to free up more space on the silicon. The research has led the companies to ...

Ok, we’ll admit it. If you asked us what the first transistorized computer was, we would have guessed it was the TC from the University of Manchester. After all, Dr. Wilkes and company were at the ...

SAN FRANCISCO -- Intel Corp. said Wednesday that it has redesigned the electronic switches on its chips so that computers can keep getting cheaper and more powerful. The switches, known as transistors ...

Digital transistors—assembled by the billions in today's computer chips—act as near-perfect electronic switches. In the "on" position, achieved when an above-threshold voltage is applied to the device ...

Engineers propose a built-in security measure that would better protect computer chip hardware from hackers. A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in ...

(Nanowerk News) For decades, one material has so dominated the production of computer chips and transistors that the tech capital of the world — Silicon Valley — bears its name. But silicon’s reign ...
