A photonic transistor that can switch or amplify an optical signal with a single gate photon requires strong non-linear interaction at the single-photon level. Circuit quantum electrodynamics provides ...

MIT engineers have developed a magnetic transistor that could pave the way for smaller, faster, and more efficient electronics. By replacing silicon with a magnetic semiconductor, the team created a ...

Semiconductor transistors now switch states in single-digit picoseconds, enabling processors to flip billions of logic gates every second without a single mechanical component. Research on 0.07-micron ...

While many research efforts are underway to develop active devices that can function in the challenging terahertz spectrum, others are leapfrogging to try to get some devices operate into the ...

Chipmakers agree that the transistor of the next decade will actually be two transistors stacked atop one another, packing in ...
