The humble inventions that power our modern world wouldn’t have been possible without decades of support for early-stage ...

I learned some basic electronics in high school physics class: resistors, capacitors, Kirchhoff’s law and such, and added only what was required for projects as I did them. Then around 15 years ago I ...

MIT engineers developed a magnetic transistor that could lead to smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient electronics, using a magnetic semiconductor material.

MIT engineers built a magnetic transistor from chromium sulfur bromide, promising smaller, faster electronics with built-in ...

The basic rules by which chips are being designed could be wrong, physicists have warned. Researchers at the US National Institute of Science and Technology have warned that a flaw exists in ...

Silicon transistors, which are used to amplify and switch signals, are a critical component in most electronic devices, from ...

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has ...

A single organic device reconfigures as transistor, rectifier and logic gate, offering compact circuits with higher ...
