The transistor is the basic technology behind, well, everything in modern computing. In digital circuits, a transistor acts ...

Nanoscale 3D transistors made from ultrathin semiconductor materials can operate more efficiently than silicon-based devices, leveraging quantum mechanical properties to potentially enable ...

Why it matters: Silicon transistors are great, but just like any other object in the physical world, they are held back by a few limitations. The laws of physics put a bottleneck on performance and ...

MIT engineers have developed a magnetic transistor that could pave the way for smaller, faster, and more efficient electronics. By replacing silicon with a magnetic semiconductor, the team created a ...

While many research efforts are underway to develop active devices that can function in the challenging terahertz spectrum, others are leapfrogging to try to get some devices operate into the ...
