Researchers built a four-atom-thick transistor combining an atomically thin semiconductor and molecular crystal. It uses ...
WTF?! Silicon has been the material of choice for the semiconductors that power our electronics for decades. Manufacturers and designers are looking for alternatives as they begin to question how much ...
In the same way that a pillow filled with pebbles is harder to get smooth than one stuffed with sand, chip makers are finding it harder to make transistors behave predictably as they shrink. Here, the ...

What Makes a Transistor So Powerful?
Transistors are tiny components that act as switches and amplifiers in nearly every electronic device. This video breaks down ...
On this day in 1947, scientists at Bell Labs, owned by AT&T — which had a telephone monopoly at the time — tweaked a new gadget the size of a shot glass to produce, basically, amplification. It marked ...
