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

For almost two decades, scientists have been trying to move beyond silicon, the material ...

The production of semiconductors, also known as chips, has become a strategic priority in Europe as well as the United States, after the shock of the pandemic choked ...

Cornell researchers have used advanced electron microscopy to identify "mouse bite" defects in 3D transistors for the first time ...

A stunning new imaging breakthrough lets scientists see — and fix — the atomic flaws hiding inside tomorrow’s computer chips.

Modern computer chips contain billions of transistors etched onto a fingernail-sized piece of silicon. In fact, a typical smartphone processor now contains on the order of 15 billion transistors—a ...

(Nanowerk News) Emerging artificial intelligence (AI) applications, like chatbots that generate natural human language, demand denser, more powerful computer chips. But semiconductor chips are ...

Forward-looking: As manufacturers search for ways to extend the life of Moore's Law, building transistors only a few atoms thick – called 2D Materials – could be a path forward. Researchers are trying ...

Why it matters: Moore's Law has been on life support for a while now, but it's not dead yet. Chipmakers are burning the midnight oil to miniaturize transistor designs, and a team of researchers in ...

Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA — Emerging AI applications, like chatbots that generate natural human language, demand denser, more powerful computer chips. But semiconductor chips are traditionally made with bulk ...
