A bioelectronic engineer, Klas Tybrandt of Linkoping University in Sweden, has built the first "ion transistor" computer chip, which uses chemical ions and biological molecules as charge carriers ...

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.

In a bold challenge to silicon s long-held dominance in electronics, Penn State researchers have built the world s first working CMOS computer entirely from atom-thin 2D materials. Using molybdenum ...

Bioengineers at Stanford University have created the first biological transistor made from genetic materials: DNA and RNA. Dubbed the "transcriptor," this biological transistor is the final component ...

On Dec. 16, 1947, the future began with the invention of the transistor. A lab notebook indicates that researchers at Bell Telephone Laboratories first got the thing to work on this day 75 years ago.

A single electron makes the difference between “on” and “off” for a new transistor made from a single carbon nanotube, whose minute size and low-energy requirements should make it an ideal device for ...

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 ...

Transistors that can change properties are important elements in the development of tomorrow's semiconductors. With standard transistors approaching the limit for how small they can be, having more ...
