Gaze into the temporal distance and you might spot the end of the age of silicon looming somewhere out there, as a research ...

A team of scientists at Penn State has created the world’s first computer made entirely from materials that are just one atom thick—without using any silicon. This breakthrough marks a big step ...

Penn State researchers have built the world’s first CMOS computer entirely from two-dimensional materials, marking a leap ...

Curious about how transistors remember data and make memory storage possible? Dive into the basics of memory at the ...

An exclusive look inside the closely guarded factory the president wants to become a foundation stone for a US golden age.

Researchers in China have developed a two-dimensional transistor that could redefine the future of microchips. Described as thinner than a single atom and capable of operating 100 times faster than ...

We report fabrication as well as proof-of-concept experiments of a noninvasive sensor of weak nanoscale electric fields. The sensor is a single electron transistor (SET) placed at the tip of a ...
