Associate Professor Mario Lanza and his team demonstrated a groundbreaking silicon transistor that mimics neural and synaptic behaviours, marking a significant breakthrough in neuromorphic computing.

A technical paper titled “Roadmap for Schottky barrier transistors” was published by researchers at University of Surrey, Namlab gGmbH, Forschungszentrum Jülich (FZJ), et al. “In this roadmap we ...

Why it matters: Silicon transistors are great, but just like any other object in the physical world, they are held back by a few limitations. The laws of physics put a bottleneck on performance ...

Nanoscale transistors could enable more efficient electronics Researchers are leveraging quantum mechanical properties to overcome the limits of silicon semiconductor technology. Date: November 4 ...

The quantum thermal transistor is one of the most exciting innovations in this field. While the current works surrounding this device are still theoretical, recent advancements in the fabrication ...

What is a Programmable Unijunction Transistor (PUT)? Simple – it is a three-lead electronic semiconductor device, similar to a unijunction transistor (UJT), except that its behaviour can be controlled ...

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

As transistors are scaled to smaller dimensions, their static power increases. Combining two-dimensional (2D) channel materials with complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) logic architectures ...

The majority of computer chips are made of transistors, which unlike capacitors can’t store energy; they merely act like “on/off” switches, either letting an electric current through or ...

But Hu and his colleagues may have found a solution. As reported last November in Science, his team has developed a new type of transistor that can precisely control heat flow by taking advantage ...

It's kind of like a corporate vision board, showcasing its plans for ambitious designs that will allow for up to a trillion transistors to be used in a single package. At the same time ...
