Over the past few decades, electronics engineers have been trying to develop new neuromorphic hardware, systems that mirror the organization of neurons in the human brain. These systems could run ...

Cross Section of Gate-All-Around Transistor and Wiring Applied Materials introduced three new chipmaking systems that boost ...

Bell Laboratories, one of the world’s largest industrial laboratories and now part of Lucent Technologies, was originally the research and development arm of the giant telephone company American ...

Many things about diamonds seem eternal, including the many engineering problems related to making them work as a silicon ...

Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

Conventional silicon-based electronics are rapidly approaching a fundamental barrier. Below about five nanometers, quantum effects make their behavior unpredictable. That’s led to research into ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. MIT engineers have developed a magnetic transistor that could pave the way for smaller, faster, and more efficient electronics. By ...

The future began 75 years ago this week with the invention of something small that’s considered the most manufactured item in human history. Odds are, you are surrounded by them right now. The ...

In a development that may enable a wholly new approach to artificial intelligence, researchers at Harvard University's School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have invented a type of ...

At the center of modern technology lies the logic circuitry provided by semiconductor devices. Extending circuit logic to the realm of nanotechnology requires the construction of atomic-scale systems, ...

Cell phones are a big deal, but to some of us the transistor was an even bigger deal. I was disobeying my parents staying up ...
