IBM just unveiled the world's first sub 1-nanometer chip: 100 billion transistors. IBM also says they've produced functioning ...

Researchers have created a new theoretical framework that shows how memory-preserving "memtransistors" could overcome the intrinsic limits in efficiency faced by conventional semiconductor transistors ...

Quantum technology has reached a turning point, echoing the early days of modern computing. Researchers say functional quantum systems now exist, but scaling them into truly powerful machines will ...

This story was originally published by The 19th. In the months leading up to his election, President Donald Trump insisted that he had nothing to do with the far-right vision for his second ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the workload that defines today’s semiconductor scaling. Whether in hyperscale data centers training foundation models or at the network edge executing ...

A Planet Analog article, “2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor?” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old transistor and how it’s commonly used, and if any uncommon uses might exist.

A friend recently sent me an email noting that the classic 2N3904 bipolar transistor was now 60 years old. Since its “birth” was before I got involved with basic electronics, that callout was ...

With Donald Trump's decisive victory in the 2024 election, many voters are now wondering what that means for the so-called Project 2025 plan and what's in it. Project 2025, a controversial blueprint ...

Throughout the 2024 presidential campaign, you might have heard about "Project 2025," a conservative federal policy guide the Trump administration will likely try to implement. The 920-page document ...

Why it matters: Silicon transistors are great, but just like any other object in the physical world, they are held back by a few limitations. The laws of physics put a bottleneck on performance and ...
