(Nanowerk News) For decades, one material has so dominated the production of computer chips and transistors that the tech capital of the world — Silicon Valley — bears its name. But silicon’s reign ...

IBM's NanoStack architecture has led to transistors that deliver 50% better performance and 70% less energy versus today's best technologies.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in a circuit - but not if the transistor "type" is undetectable. Purdue University ...

MIT researchers have found that InGaAs could potentially replace silicon to create smaller and more energy-efficient transistors. A paper detailing the findings will be presented this month. Being a ...

A bioelectronic engineer, Klas Tybrandt of Linkoping University in Sweden, has built the first "ion transistor" computer chip, which uses chemical ions and biological molecules as charge carriers ...

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 ...

For decades, one material has so dominated the production of computer chips and transistors that the tech capital of the world -- Silicon Valley -- bears its name. But silicon's reign may not last ...
