Duke engineers show how a common device architecture used to test 2D transistors overstates their performance prospects in real-world devices.

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

Advances in materials and architecture could lead to silicon-free chip manufacturing thanks to a new type of transistor.

Altering the very fabric of technophilic society, a multinational team of material scientists have created electric circuits and transistors out of cotton fibers. Two kinds of transistor were created: ...

The production of transistors is a complex process and it needs a specialized environment (high temperature) and sophisticated equipment (capable of producing a high vacuum). To make the process of ...

Main game is to stick as many floating-point (or more recently reduced integer) arithmetic units as you can to increase the number of math operations you can do in parallel. LLMs are just giant ...

Researchers built a four-atom-thick transistor combining an atomically thin semiconductor and molecular crystal. It uses charge localization and works at room temperature. (Nanowerk News) The ability ...
