The basic unit of matter could become the basic unit of computing. A lone atom of phosphorus embedded in a sheet of silicon has been made to act as a transistor. It is not the first single-atom ...
A silicon-free transistor developed in China may revolutionise chip technology. According to reports, the 2D transistor, designed with bismuth oxyselenide, could enhance processor speeds by 40% while ...
LOS ALTOS, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cerebras Systems, a startup dedicated to accelerating Artificial intelligence (AI) compute, today unveiled the largest chip ever built. Optimized for AI work, the ...
A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...
In a shining example of the inexorable march of technology, IBM has unveiled new semiconductor chips with the smallest transistors ever made. The new 2-nanometer (nm) tech allows the company to cram a ...
Silicon chip manufacturers like Intel and TSMC are constantly outdoing themselves to make ever smaller features, but they are getting closer to the physical limits of silicon. “We already have very, ...

What Is a Transistor, and How Does It Work?
Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...
Big Blue is working on a new type of transistor it says will vastly increase performance and reduce power consumption of chips in the coming decade. Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET ...
US scientists at the University of Rochester are working on a new kind of transistor that could be massively more powerful than today's designs. Known as the "ballistic deflection transistor" (BDT), ...
Powering both the new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus is Apple's new A8 SoC. This new chip, which contains around two billion transistors, will be one of the first mass-market components to use TSMC's 20nm ...
For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is running into hard physical limits. A new approach from MIT aims to sidestep ...
