The growing energy use of AI has gotten a lot of people working on ways to make it less power hungry. One option is to develop processors that are a better match to the sort of computational needs of ...

The transition from finFET technology to Gate-All-Around (GAA) technology helps to reduce transistor variability and resume channel length scaling. It also brings several new challenges in terms of ...

A remarkable proof-of-concept project has successfully manufactured nanoscale diodes and transistors using a fast, cheap new production technique in which liquid metal is directed to self-assemble ...

Your beloved pooch has a tendency to run off. It’s time to pay a visit to the vet to get her microchipped. On the morning of your appointment, the alarm on your smartphone wakes you up. The house is ...

Why it matters: Silicon transistors are great, but just like any other object in the physical world, they are held back by a few limitations. The laws of physics put a bottleneck on performance and ...

Smartphones have progressed significantly over the past few years, with improvements in display, camera quality, and performance. Some of the biggest smartphones you can buy have pushed the limits of ...

Pat gelsinger, boss of Intel, a chipmaker, loves to brag that his firm is leading the charge in semiconductor technology by entering the “angstrom era”. The angstrom, named in honour of Anders Jonas ...

A new material can withstand 'billions' of electrical cycles without wearing out — and scientists say it could transform electronics within 10 to 20 years. When you purchase through links on our site, ...

The ionizing radiation symbol, featuring three curved blades emanating from a central point, has been used since 1946 to warn workers, scientists and the public of the presence of radioactive material ...

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...
