What just happened? Researchers from the Vienna University of Technology have developed an adaptive transistor designed to provide more flexibility during run-time. The revolutionary new transistor ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A computer chip processes and stores information using two different devices. If engineers could combine these devices into one or put them next to each other, then there would ...

Advances in materials and architecture could lead to silicon-free chip manufacturing thanks to a new type of transistor.

Researchers at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) in Seoul have created a transistor that is switched by magnetism, rather than electricity. This could lead to computer chips that ...

The next big miniaturization step in microelectronics could soon become possible -- with so-called two-dimensional materials. With the help of a novel insulator made of calcium fluoride, scientists ...

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 ...

This is the third installment in our CPU design series. In Part 1, we covered computer architecture and how a processor works at a high level. Part 2 explored the design and implementation of ...

For decades, the transistors on our microchips have become smaller, faster and cheaper. Approximately every two years the number of transistors on commercial chips has doubled - this phenomenon became ...
