A team of scientists at the University of Chicago and Argonne National Laboratory have created an ultrathin transistor unlike ...

We like to pretend that our circuit elements are perfect because, honestly, it makes life easier and it often doesn’t matter much in practice. For a normal design, the fact that a foot of wire has a ...

A team of engineers from the University of Illinois unveiled an upgrade to a transistor laser that can be used to increase computer processor speeds and form two stable energy states with the ability ...

Before this work it was not possible to perform quantum calculations using only transistors. Other elements were needed and this provided a limitation for upscaling. This work shows a single ...

If you ever work with a circuit that controls a decent amount of current, you will often encounter a FET – a Field-Effect Transistor. Whether you want to control a couple of powerful LEDs, switch a ...
