My neighbor has a Marantz 2265b receiver that blew fuses as soon as it was powered up. I did a little research and discovered that the output tranistors on one channel were blown.<BR>From what I ...

One of the topics we've covered multiple times at ExtremeTech is the difficulty of continuing to scale semiconductor technology, and the related problem of improving chip performance without ...

Physicists at the University of California, Riverside have received a $1.85 million research grant to work on "magnetologic gates," a brand new computing building block made from graphene and magnetic ...

Researchers at Hewlett-Packard have invented a new type of microcomputing technology known as the crossbar latch that could potentially replace the transistor used in computers today. Transistors, ...

Researchers at HP last week demonstrated a technology that would replace the transistors in computer processors. A paper published in the Journal of Applied Physics describes a crossbar latch ...

BOSTON – A new chip-making technique developed by researchers at three U.S. universities could help lower the cost of future chips by replacing transistors with wires made from gold atoms and organic ...

Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET News.com, where he covers hardware, research and development, start-ups and the tech industry overseas. As the search for a silicon transistor replacement ...

Lab architecture used to test 2D semiconductors artificially boosts performance metrics, making it harder to assess whether these materials can truly replace silicon.
