Semiconductor transistors now switch states in single-digit picoseconds, enabling processors to flip billions of logic gates ...

Transistors, small devices that can amplify or switch electrical signals, are central components of all modern computer chips ...

A silicon carbide transistor uses negative differential resistance at millikelvin temperatures to enable low-power local ...

In a nutshell: Back in 2021, a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology made waves by creating an entirely new type of ferroelectric material. Now, those same researchers have one-upped ...

Inside a modern data centre, performance is already constrained less by raw transistor capability and more by heat removal.

“Three-terminal thermal analogies to electrical transistors have been proposed for use in thermal amplification, thermal switching, or thermal logic, but have not yet been demonstrated experimentally.
