Innovative tool for producing computer chips uses giant, nearly perfect mirrors to make tiny transistors and circuits.

An alloy material called InGaAs could be suitable for high-performance computer transistors, according to researchers. If operated at high-frequencies, InGaAs transistors could one day rival those ...

The number of transistors on a computer chip doubles about every 18 months. This observation, known as Moore’s law, is a nightmare for semiconductor engineers, who are tasked with building chips that ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in a circuit – but not if the transistor “type” is undetectable. Purdue University ...

A team of scientists at the University of California, Berkeley have created a metallic wire made entirely of carbon, setting the stage for research into carbon-based transistors and computers.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — Intel Corp. said Wednesday that it has redesigned the electronic switches on its chips so that computers can keep getting cheaper and more powerful. The switches, known as ...
