Today's transistors can switch millions or even billions of times per second, enabling the astonishing speeds of modern processors. Why Silicon?

Researchers have reported a black phosphorus transistor that can be used as an alternative ultra-low power switch. A research team developed a thickness-controlled black phosphorous tunnel field ...

"Researchers have been struggling to minimize the size of the transistor to fit as many as possible on chips for semiconductors, usually using inorganic materials like silicon," Li says.

As a result, their device could rapidly and efficiently switch between two possible logic states – making for an ideal optical transistor. Faster and less power Compared with the latest electrical ...

A transistor made using two atomically thin materials sets size record A key transistor component is made from the edge of a sheet of graphene.

This automatic battery-charger, built around a single transistor, starts charging when the battery voltage drops beyond a preset value and stops when once an upper preset voltage is reached.

Researchers developed an integrated probabilistic Ising machine that combines a custom-designed digital silicon chip with nanoscale voltage-controlled magnetic tunnel junctions pioneered by Professor ...
