Every few years, we hear about someone building a computer from first principles. This doesn’t mean getting a 6502 or Z80, wiring it up, and running BASIC. I’m talking about builds from the ground up, ...

An organic transistor has opened the way to new generations of neuro-inspired computers, capable of responding in a manner similar to the nervous system. The study of the transistor, based on ...

In one of the biggest advancements in fundamental transistor design, Intel Corporation revealed that it is using two dramatically new materials to build the insulating walls and switching gates of its ...

One of the semiconductor devices built in almost all electronic devices such as televisions, mobile phones, and PCs is "A transistor"is. Although I have heard of the name, actually it is not generally ...

A bioelectronic engineer, Klas Tybrandt of Linkoping University in Sweden, has built the first "ion transistor" computer chip, which uses chemical ions and biological molecules as charge carriers ...

Researchers have successfully created an optical transistor from a single molecule. This has brought them one step closer to an optical computer. ETH Zurich researchers have successfully created an ...

Add articles to your saved list and come back to them anytime. Intel announced on Monday that it has created a two-billion-transistor computer chip that will give supercomputers "a leap in performance ...

Physicists at Purdue University and the University of New South Wales have built a transistor from a single atom of phosphorous precisely placed on a bed of silicon, taking another step towards the ...

Scientists say they have created the first transistor from a single phosphorous atom using near-atomic precision, which could keep development of processors on track with Moore’s law until at least ...

Researchers from ETH Zurich have recently managed to create an optical transistor from a single molecule in what is yet another important achievement on the road to quantum computing. Quantum ...

This was the headline, 65 years ago, on a story in Electronics Weekly’s edition of September 7, 1960. The story opens: An all-transistor general purpose computer, the GE-225, has been developed by ...
