Researchers create transistors combining silicon with biological silk, using common microprocessor manufacturing methods. The silk protein can be easily modified with other chemical and biological ...

Researchers built a four-atom-thick transistor combining an atomically thin semiconductor and molecular crystal. It uses charge localization and works at room temperature. (Nanowerk News) The ability ...

Not every computer can make use of a disk drive when it needs to store persistent data. Embedded systems especially have pushed the development of a series of erasable programmable read-only memories ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue researchers have discovered a new two-dimensional material, derived from the rare element tellurium, to make transistors that carry a current better throughout a computer ...

Chipmaking giants like Intel, Samsung, and TSMC see a future where key parts of silicon transistors are replaced with semiconductors that are only a few atoms thick. Although they’ve reported progress ...

In this lesson, students search for transistor-based devices at school. They use the results of their search to explain the significance of the transistor in their lives. A transistor is a tiny device ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA – Silicon transistors, which are used to amplify and switch signals, are a critical component in most electronic devices, from smartphones to automobiles. But silicon semiconductor ...

A new method for printing 2D material transistors delivers flexibility and performance without the toxic trade-offs of traditional fabrication. Study: Ionic-Liquid Free and Flexible Transistors Made ...

EVANSTON, Ill. — Transistors based on a new kind of material created by Northwestern University researchers have been lifted into outer space on the space shuttle Endeavour and attached to the outside ...

Materials that flip from insulator to conductor could make more energy-efficient transistors, although the metals are not yet close to competing with silicon The switches in most electronic circuits ...

My first thought when reading this is why not use FPGAs for secure hardware? They're already proven, sufficiently performant, reliable, affordable and widely available. Design a secure enclave with ...

Indium antimonide doesn't exactly have a ring to it, but the compound could help chipmakers advance in the next decade. Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET News.com, where he covers hardware, ...
