Advances in materials and architecture could lead to silicon-free chip manufacturing thanks to a new type of transistor.

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

Lab architecture used to test 2D semiconductors artificially boosts performance metrics, making it harder to assess whether these materials can truly replace silicon.

Many things about diamonds seem eternal, including the many engineering problems related to making them work as a silicon replacement in semiconductor technology. Yet much like a diamond exposed ...

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 ...

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 ...

By applying voltage to electrically control a new "transistor" membrane, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National ...

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 ...

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 ...
