Duke engineers show how a common device architecture used to test 2D transistors overstates their performance prospects in real-world devices.

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 ...

Lab architecture used to test 2D semiconductors artificially boosts performance metrics, making it harder to assess whether these materials can truly replace silicon.

Today’s trend in semiconductor chip manufacturing involves the miniaturizationof transistors and increasing the density of transistors per integrated circuit. Researchers at CU Boulder have developed ...

DRAM makes up the bulk of non-volatile memory in computer systems. Much has been done lately to mix non-volatile storage with DRAM. However, DRAM’s performance and capacity still win out when it comes ...

As transistor sizes shrink, short channel effects make it more difficult for transistor gates to turn a transistor ON and OFF [1]. One method to overcome this problem is to move away from planar ...

Intel announces a major technical breakthrough and historic innovation in microprocessors: the world's first 3-D transistors, called Tri-Gate, in a production technology. The transition to 3-D ...

There's been no greater act of magic in technology than the sleight of hand performed by Moore's Law. Electronic components that once fit in your palm have long gone atomic, vanishing from our world ...

Advanced Micro Devices on Thursday unveiled an experimental transistor with three gates, in a continued effort to find ways to increase performance while conserving electricity. The transistor, which ...
