Examples like Intel's Loihi chips tend to get competitive performance out of far lower clock speeds and energy use, but they ...

"This is one of the first, and perhaps most dramatic, examples of how very basic science has led to something that could have a major impact on applications." The transistor is made from a ...

We all know, at least intellectually, that our computers are all built with lots of tiny transistors. But beyond that it’s a little hard to describe. They’re printed on a silicon wafer somehow ...

But teams of Bell Labs scientists who remain largely unknown also made the transistor possible. Russell Ohl, for example, discovered how to add the impurities to silicon that produced its unique ...

Furthermore, non-planar designs such as tri-gate transistors are being developed to mitigate problems arising, for example, from short-channel effects. Combined, these innovations and strategies ...

(The vacuum tube-powered ENIAC, for example, reportedly caused brownouts in Philadelphia whenever it was turned on.) Transistors also flipped on instantaneously, compared to sluggish vacuum tubes ...

The minimum channel length of transistor is called the technology node. For example, 0.18 micrometer, 0.13 micrometer, 90 nanometer etc. The scaling improves cost, performance and power consumption ...

Examples of nanoscale devices are synthetic molecular motors such as rotaxanes, graphene-based transistors and nanoelectromechanical oscillators. Mycobacterium smegmatis porin A (MspA) modified ...
