WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A computer chip processes and stores information using two different devices. If engineers could combine these devices into one or put them next to each other, then there would ...

Computer scientists revealed a new way of making exceptionally small transistors yesterday in what some described as a key step toward a post- silicon future of electronics on the molecular scale. A ...

An alloy material called InGaAs could be suitable for high-performance computer transistors, according to researchers. If operated at high-frequencies, InGaAs transistors could one day rival those ...

For decades, the transistors on our microchips have become smaller, faster and cheaper. Approximately every two years the number of transistors on commercial chips has doubled - this phenomenon became ...

What kind of computer could you build in 1967? Well, if you were reading Wireless World (a UK magazine) and had a good bit of spare cash, you could build [Brian Crank’s] Wireless World Computer. You ...

Researchers at Stanford University have demonstrated the first functional computer built using only carbon nanotube transistors, according to an article published Wednesday on the cover of scientific ...

In what is likely a major breakthrough for quantum computing, researchers from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) in Australia have managed for the first time to build the fundamental blocks of ...

In a breakthrough that could potentially revolutionize the technology industry, scientists have constructed transistors made out of a silicon-based material with the thickness of a single atom. The ...

For more than 40 years, computer processors have increased in power and shrunk in size at a tremendous rate. But engineers are approaching the point where there is not much more to be gained from ...

The next big miniaturization step in microelectronics could soon become possible -- with so-called two-dimensional materials. With the help of a novel insulator made of calcium fluoride, scientists ...
