Researchers at Rutgers University in Piscataway, New Jersey have shown that they can change the threshold voltage of organic transistors by exposing them to visible light, making it possible to ...

As mentioned in a previous post, the Flemish Interuniversity Microelectronics Consortium, IMEC, has decided to include the interests of DRAM and non-volatile memory designers in their 32nm half-pitch ...

LONDON — Specialist semiconductor wafer supplier IQE plc (Cardiff, Wales) has announced that its Pennsylvania based operation is to take part in the development of carbon-based, radio-frequency ...

For decades, the semiconductor industry has been laser-focused on shrinking silicon transistors, but Peking University researchers believe the future might lie in changing materials entirely. In a ...

Recently in material science news from China we hear that [Hailin Peng] and his team at Peking University just made the world’s fastest transistor and it’s not made of silicon. Before we tell you ...

Researchers from the University of Colorado and MIT have fabricated a 3-D transistor that’s less than half the size of today’s smallest commercial models. To do so, they developed a novel ...

When we first spotted the article about a one-transistor amateur radio transceiver, we were sure it was a misprint. We’ve seen a lot of simple low-power receivers using a single transistor, and a fair ...
