Every computer chip is built from a switch smaller than anything the human eye can resolve, and for decades engineers have ...

Inside there's a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core. When a current flows through this control wire, it creates a magnetic field. This pulls down the metal switch on top, which contacts the ...

SAN FRANCISCO -- Intel Corp. said Wednesday that it has redesigned the electronic switches on its chips so that computers can keep getting cheaper and more powerful. The switches, known as transistors ...

Finnish startup S-Transistors, a spin-out from VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, has raised €2.6 million in pre-seed ...

MIT researchers have created bacterial “transistors” that can be wired together into living circuits capable of performing ...

Ok, we’ll admit it. If you asked us what the first transistorized computer was, we would have guessed it was the TC from the University of Manchester. After all, Dr. Wilkes and company were at the ...

The new Finnish startup is disrupting the ways of controlling large-scale quantum computers by delivering a completely new class of electronic devices - superconducting transistors. These novel ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Shockley had submitted the patent application for a "three-electrode circuit element ...

STACKS of nanomagnets could make future supercomputers run leaner. Microchips made from tiny magnets rather than conventional power-hungry transistors may enable intensive number-crunching tasks like ...

Altering the very fabric of technophilic society, a multinational team of material scientists have created electric circuits and transistors out of cotton fibers. Two kinds of transistor were created: ...

Researchers at Kyoto University have built a silicon carbide transistor that keeps working normally at temperatures up to ...
