A transistor normally requires several fundamentally different materials—a semiconductor to carry current, an insulating ...

Researchers found that blending TIPS pentacene with poly(α-methylstyrene) aligns its crystals nearly parallel and triples ...

Researchers at South Korea's Institute for Basic Science chemically converted a single tungsten diselenide crystal into a ...

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

If computer chips could be built from semiconductors just one atom thick, they could pack far more transistors into a smaller ...

Siemens will contribute design automation and simulation expertise to help develop IBM's angstrom-scale nanostack chip ...

In this lesson, students search for transistor-based devices at school. They use the results of their search to explain the significance of the transistor in their lives. A transistor is a tiny device ...

On Dec. 16, 1947, the future began with the invention of the transistor. A lab notebook indicates that researchers at Bell Telephone Laboratories first got the thing to work on this day 75 years ago.

A new two-dimensional semiconductor material could address a major limitation in next-generation chip design, enabling ...

A huge portion of electronic devices that are discarded at the end of their lives are never recycled, and a big part of the problem is the difficulty in separating out and recovering the valuable ...

Conventional silicon-based electronics are rapidly approaching a fundamental barrier. Below about five nanometers, quantum effects make their behavior unpredictable. That’s led to research into ...
