Researchers at Peking University in China have developed the world’s smallest and most energy-efficient transistors, which could power the artificial intelligence (AI) chips of the future. Called ...

New research from the WISE group (Wearable, Intelligent, Soft Electronics) at The University of Hong Kong (HKU-WISE) has addressed a long-standing bioelectronic challenge: the development of soft, 3D ...

Ok, we’ll admit it. If you asked us what the first transistorized computer was, we would have guessed it was the TC from the University of Manchester. After all, Dr. Wilkes and company were at the ...

Recently in material science news from China we hear that [Hailin Peng] and his team at Peking University just made the world’s fastest transistor and it’s not made of silicon. Before we tell you ...

A friend recently sent me an email noting that the classic 2N3904 bipolar transistor was now 60 years old. Since its “birth” was before I got involved with basic electronics, that callout was ...

ic = [] # declare a list for ic with vce = vce,sat = 0.2V ic2 = [] # declare a list for ic with vce = 2.5V ib2 = [] # declare a list for ib with vce = 2.5V ...

NUS scientists have made a standard silicon transistor mimic brain functions, paving the way for efficient, scalable AI hardware using existing chip technology. NUS researchers have shown that a ...

For decades, the semiconductor industry has been laser-focused on shrinking silicon transistors, but Peking University researchers believe the future might lie in changing materials entirely. In a ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Figure 1 shows a variation on a sine wave oscillator, it uses just two transistors and a single variable resistor to set the frequency. Figure 1 Just a couple of components are needed for a simple ...
