Phononic circuits are emerging devices that can manipulate sound waves (i.e., phonons) in ways that resemble how electronic ...

A single-molecule logic circuit has shown that using carbon nanotubes instead of silicon pathways could someday soup up integrated circuits to near-terahertz processing, up from today’s low-gigahertz ...

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--Written off lately by the computer industry as a has-been, Sun Microsystems may still have a few tricks up its engineers' shirt sleeves. On Tuesday, Sun researchers plan to ...

IDF talk shows that circuits inside Intel's Atom chip are slated to shrink to a size that is incomprehensibly small, the width of about 60 atoms. Brooke Crothers Former CNET contributor Brooke ...

Johns Hopkins researchers have found new materials and methods to create smaller, faster, and more affordable microchips used ...

Since analog circuits refuse to obey Moore's Law, logic designers are taking matters into their own hands to take full advantage of CMOS process shrinks. By replacing analog functions with digital ...

Researchers have developed a chip-based quantum random number generator that provides high-speed, high-quality operation on a ...

China has criticized Taiwan’s decision to impose export restrictions on semiconductor products bound for South Africa, calling the move ineffective and self-damaging.
