Researchers have used interactions between highly excited atoms to make an optical transistor that can be activated by a single photon. Figure 1: A photon transistor uses a light source to modulate a ...

Researchers have identified the best silicon and silicon dioxide materials for the next generation of transistors, which are expected to be just a nanometer long. In 1965, Gordon Moore famously ...

Researchers at Purdue University have trapped alkali atoms (cesium) on an integrated photonic circuit, which behaves like a transistor for photons (the smallest energy unit of light) similar to ...

A University of Michigan-led team is developing a multiferroic M3BOLT device that uses magnetic and sound waves to represent ...

Terahertz transistor room temperature research reaches a new milestone: simulations of N-polar gallium nitride transistors ...

The first transistor was successfully demonstrated at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey, in 1947. This three-terminal device has spawned many of the electronics devices that make possible ...

75 years ago this month, research scientists working at Bell Labs first created, then unveiled to the world a new device—the point contact transistor. Some call it the greatest invention of the 20th ...

Three new transistors for spin-based currents may lead to a new type of circuitry that is faster and more efficient than traditional electronics. How to get smaller. Next generation computer chips ...
