In a bold challenge to silicon s long-held dominance in electronics, Penn State researchers have built the world s first ...

Silicon is the kingpin when it comes to semiconductor technology that’s used in smartphones, computers, electric vehicles, and more. However, the material could soon lose its claim as the most ...

On the other hand, this computer goes all the way back to first principles and implements a complete processor out of individual transistors instead. The transistor computer uses over 2000 ...

Saptarshi Das and Subir Ghosh’s research represents a major leap toward building thinner, faster and more energy-efficient ...

Engineers at Pennsylvania State University have made a major breakthrough by building the world's first computer entirely ...

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

First transistor based computer built. Richard Grimsdale and Douglas Webb working with Tom Kilburn at the University of Manchester demonstrated a prototype computer built with transistors. The ...

However, the most common modern transistor, the one that is found by the millions in computer chips, is the metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) field effect transistor. The transistor has evolved since ...
