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 ...

Researchers developed a dual-modulated vertical transistor that suppresses leakage at nanoscale channels and supports scalable 3D semiconductor integration. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at the Daegu ...

A new app called Current is rethinking the RSS reader, aiming to offer a reading experience that feels more like dipping into a stream of news, and less like a task to be completed. In doing so, the ...

NTT researchers have addressed two primary loss mechanisms in AlN power transistors: the contact resistance and the channel resistance. To understand the potential of aluminum nitride (AlN) in power ...

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 ...

Abstract: Semiconductor lasers are widely used in fields such as optical fiber communication, laser processing, biomedicine, spectral detection, and national defense technology. Its output ...

Before transistors and microchips, engineers had limited options for building computing machines. Light bulbs, known as vacuum tubes, were the only components fast and reliable enough to perform ...

It isn’t unusual to expect a precisely regulated voltage in an electronic project, but what about times when you need a precise current? Over on EDN, prolific [Stephen Woodward] explains how to use a ...

The ability to make a very miniature on/off switch changed the world. These tiny switches, known as transistors, make up the basis of all modern computing—they drive your cell phones, your bank ...

Modern humans have existed for around 300,000 years, and in all the time we've been here, we've made a lot of things. In the early days, homo sapiens fashioned tools from flint and other materials, ...

Qualcomm announced Tuesday it will acquire Arduino for undisclosed terms. The chipmaker said the Italy-based company would become an independent subsidiary of Qualcomm. In this article Qualcomm wants ...
