Nvidia Corp. today announced a new flagship graphics processing unit, Rubin, that provides five times the inference performance of Blackwell. The GPU made its debut at CES alongside five other data ...

This year’s top semiconductor stories were mostly about the long and twisting trips a technology takes from idea (or even raw material) to commercial deployment. I’ve been at IEEE Spectrum long enough ...

This video explains how transistors work as switches and amplifiers in electronic circuits. Transistors control the flow of current and enable signal processing in everything from small devices to ...

The ability to make a very miniature on/off switch changed the world. These tiny switches, known as transistors, make up the basis of all modern computing—they drive your cell phones, your bank ...

Abstract: We need proper guard rings to protect devices, especially in advanced nodes. Since they will significantly increase the overall layout area, this work introduces a novel analog circuit ...

The relentless shrinking of silicon components has led to exponential improvements in chip performance, but we’re starting to hit physical limits. Now researchers have developed a way to integrate ...

Across much of America, workers fear their options for remote work are slipping away. But remote work is alive and well, at least for now. Five years into the pandemic workplace revolution, roughly 38 ...

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 ...
