From computers to smartphones, from smart appliances to the internet itself, the technology we use every day only exists ...

A nanostructure made of silver and an atomically thin semiconductor layer can be turned into an ultrafast switching mirror ...

Data doesn’t have to travel as far or waste as much energy when the memory and logic components are closer together.

Quantum technology has reached a turning point, echoing the early days of modern computing. Researchers say functional ...

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has ...

This phenomenon became known as Moore’s Law, after the businessman and scientist Gordon Moore. Moore’s Law summarised the ...

A small team of researchers at MIT's Materials Research Laboratory have developed a transistor that's just as good as those used to make flash memory chips, but with the added advantage of not wearing ...

For our 2025 Component Abuse Challenge there have been a set of entries which merely use a component for a purpose it wasn’t quite intended, and another which push misuse of a part into definite abuse ...

USC researchers built artificial neurons that replicate real brain processes using ion-based diffusive memristors. These devices emulate how neurons use chemicals to transmit and process signals, ...

For switching high-powered loads from a microcontroller, or for switching AC loads in general, most of us will reach into the ...
