Duke engineers show how a common device architecture used to test 2D transistors overstates their performance prospects in real-world devices.

Lab architecture used to test 2D semiconductors artificially boosts performance metrics, making it harder to assess whether these materials can truly replace silicon.

For almost two decades, scientists have been trying to move beyond silicon, the material ...

By applying voltage to electrically control a new "transistor" membrane, researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) achieved real-time tuning of ion separations—a capability ...

A stunning new imaging breakthrough lets scientists see — and fix — the atomic flaws hiding inside tomorrow’s computer chips.

Cornell researchers have used high-resolution 3D imaging to detect, for the first time, the atomic-scale defects in computer chips that can sabotage their performance.

The ‘Tapping Mode SQUID-on-Tip’ (TM-SOT) microscope enables multimodal imaging to be performed extremely close to the sample surface using tapping mode feedback. This allows for stability during ...

Imagination’s Ed Plowman warns that power and the associated thermal constraints, rather than area and transistor count, are ...

Nanoscale molybdenum disulfide memristors integrated onto standard CMOS chips achieve the lowest switching voltage reported ...

What Weston really wanted to do was to work as a radio and TV repairman. He was fascinated by how the devices worked. He had ...

Many of us struggle with excess belongings. But what’s even more challenging is figuring out how to let go of items they don’t need anymore. We often live under the delusion that some things will have ...

From smartphones and cars to AI data centers, medical equipment, satellites, and industrial automation systems, semiconductor chips are the invisible brain behind every intelligent system. As ...
