A transistor normally requires several fundamentally different materials—a semiconductor to carry current, an insulating ...

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 ...

Researchers at South Korea's Institute for Basic Science chemically converted a single tungsten diselenide crystal into a ...

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 ...

A research team has fabricated a gallium nitride (GaN) transistor using diamond, which of all natural materials has the highest thermal conductivity on earth, as a substrate, and they succeeded in ...

If computer chips could be built from semiconductors just one atom thick, they could pack far more transistors into a smaller ...

Study reveals how a common benchmarking architecture overstates 2D semiconductor capabilities. We’ve been hearing about the promise of 2D semiconductors for a long time, but new research from Duke ...

Spin transistor concept developed by Boston College-led team takes aim at the processor-memory bottleneck. (Nanowerk News) Artificial intelligence faces an enezrgy crisis, stemming from a physical ...

For nearly two decades, two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have been studied as a complement or possible successor to silicon transistors, promising smaller, faster and more energy-efficient ...
