On April 1, 2025, the Taiwanese manufacturer TSMC introduced the world's most advanced microchip: the 2 nanometre (2nm) chip.

When we were in school, every description of how transistors work was pretty dry and had a lot of math involved. We suppose you might have had a great instructor who was able to explain things ...

Understanding these operations is key to understanding how transistors work and contribute to the complex world of electronics. The source acts as the emitter filament of an electron tube; the drain ...

The devices were poor by today’s standards, and while transistors would work at audio frequencies for hearing aids, getting them to work at AM radio frequencies was a challenge. The Sony ...

The scientists Aylesworth talked to suggested there were probably additional impurities in the tin to make that first transistor work. So instead of the tin-doped germanium, Aylesworth used a ...

One way to understand how transistors work is by comparing them with a garden hose with a kink in it. Positively charging the ...

A microchip with nearly 6,000 transistors, each only three atoms thick, is the most complex microprocessor made from a two-dimensional material to date, scientists in China say. The new device was ...

NUS researchers have shown that a single transistor can replicate both neural and synaptic behaviors, marking a significant ...

That transistor, a junction transistor ... he kept Bardeen and Brattain as far removed from the work as possible. Bardeen would soon describe the situation as "intolerable." ...

Examples like Intel's Loihi chips tend to get competitive performance out of far lower clock speeds and energy use, but they ...

seeing who could manufacture smaller transistors and bear the production costs that come with it. Our work proposes a radically different approach based on exploiting a computing paradigm using ...

CMOS technology combines two types of transistors that work together, leading to efficient power use and high noise immunity. CMOS technology uses two different types of transistors, n-type (nMOS) and ...
