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

transistors have become microscopic. Transistors are the main component of the microchips used in computers. Computers operate on a binary system, which uses only two digits: 0 and 1. In a computer ...

As he puzzled over how to miniaturize transistors, he and Nall wondered whether microscope optics turned upside down could let something big—a pattern for a transistor—be miniaturized.

A new computing revolution in the works may take us beyond transistors with atomic-scale magnets. Some computer science researchers have promoted quantum computing as the next logical step.

Typically when learning about electronics devices the drawings of them are simplified two-dimensional block diagrams, but under a microscope this transistor at first appears nothing like the ...

The discovery was made by Dr. Wilhelm Rindner while he was poking under a microscope with a delicate probe, studying surface defects on a tiny transistor. The transistor was hooked up to a ...

Transistors are like microscopic valves that control electricity. They use a small electrical current to regulate a much larger current, acting as both switches and amplifiers. Here is a ...

Transistors are fundamental to microchips ... shown to be able to suppress the superconducting current. However, the microscopic mechanism by which this current-suppression works has remained ...

A finished device: Optical microscope image of the transistor (left) and an ultra-scaled vertical nanowire (right). (Courtesy: Y Shao) A new transistor made from semiconducting vertical nanowires of ...

Microscopic 2D Magnets Could Replace Transistors for Super-Fast Computing. Atomic-scale magnets could accelerate computing as we reach the limits of silicon.
