MIT engineers built a magnetic transistor from chromium sulfur bromide, promising smaller, faster electronics with built-in ...

In the early days, transistors were measured in microns. Today, thanks to rapid lithography progress, chips are being made at ...

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has ...

Our microelectronics relies on doped semiconductors. But there is an alternative: Instead of the semiconductor parts ...

The first announcement of the invention of the transistor met with almost no fanfare. The integrated circuit was originally thought to be useful only in military applications. The microprocessor's ...

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

MIT engineers developed a magnetic transistor that could lead to smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient electronics, using a magnetic semiconductor material.

Transistors have come a long way. Like everything else electronic, they’ve become both better and cheaper. According to a recent IEEE article, a transistor cost about $8 in today’s money back in the ...

There’s always some debate around what style of architecture is best for certain computing applications, with some on the ...

Another analyst and friend posed a question to a number of his acquaintances: "How many transistors have shipped since the first one was devised back in 1947?" I thought this was interesting and put ...
