For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is ...

One of the topics we've covered multiple times at ExtremeTech is the difficulty of continuing to scale semiconductor technology, and the related problem of improving chip performance without ...

An international team of researchers from Queen Mary University of London, the University of Oxford, Lancaster University, and the University of Waterloo have developed a new single-molecule ...

the scaling of silicon-based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (Si MOSFETs) and evolution of novel structure transistors in accordance with Moore’s Law, especially for modern ...

Despite its promising characteristics in condensed matter physics, the triply-degenerate semimetal PtBi 2 has been largely unexplored in practical applications, particularly in semiconductor ...

Field-effect transistors (FETs) are the cornerstone of modern electronic devices, providing the essential functionality for digital logic, analog processing and power management. The fundamental ...

Forward-looking: The billions of transistors hidden within a single CPU are manufactured to execute just one specific function. A team of Viennese scientists, however, aims to introduce ...

Probably the most important invention of the 2oth Century was the transistor. The first point contact transistor shown below was made at Bell Laboratories. The workbench of John Bardeen and Walter ...
