Gaze into the temporal distance and you might spot the end of the age of silicon looming somewhere out there, as a research team at Penn State University claims to have built the first working CMOS ...

Silicon is king in the semiconductor technology that underpins smartphones, computers, electric vehicles and more, but its crown may be slipping, according to a team led by researchers at Penn State.

CMOS or Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor is a small amount of memory in the motherboard of your computer and is used to store BIOS settings. They are very important for your computer as they ...

A photograph of the developed prototype. The system is designed such that the spintronic probabilistic bit comprising a stochastic magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) [left] generates a physical random ...

Researchers at PARC and Thinfilm Electronics have finally managed to print -- as in, using a printer that is similar to the one attached to your computer -- a computer circuit consisting of ...

The 4508 Group is a 4-bit single-chip microcomputer designed with CMOS technology. Its CPU is that of the 4500 series using a simple, high-speed instruction set. The computer is equipped with two ...

When you start your system, first, it performs the checksum test of the BIOS. If the checksum test is incorrect, it is assumed that the BIOS is corrupt and the hidden ...

QUESTION: When I start my computer it stays black on the monitor, but the PC just beeps, getting higher in pitch. Then it stops beeping and it does nothing - it is on but it just sits there until I ...

University of New South Wales researchers have shown how a quantum computer can be manufactured using mostly standard silicon technology. Indeed, research teams all over the world are exploring ...

Subir Ghosh, left, and Saptarshi Das, right, led a team in developing a silicon-free, complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor computer capable of simple operations. Displayed between them is an ...

Many PC components, including semiconductors, are made from a material called 'silicon.' Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have announced that they have developed a computer capable of ...
