In a bold challenge to silicon s long-held dominance in electronics, Penn State researchers have built the world s first working CMOS computer entirely from atom-thin 2D materials. Using molybdenum ...

Cornell researchers have used advanced electron microscopy to identify "mouse bite" defects in 3D transistors for the first time ...

Microsoft announced Wednesday that it has invented an entirely new kind of quantum computer. Its new quantum chip, Majorana 1, is a quantum processor analogous to transistors in classical computers’ ...

The number of transistors on a computer chip doubles about every 18 months. This observation, known as Moore’s law, is a nightmare for semiconductor engineers, who are tasked with building chips that ...

Forward-looking: Microsoft is working on a novel, future-proof computer design that could sidestep Moore's law. The system, known as Analog Iterative Machine (AIM), is an analog optical machine that ...

These prototype processors made from atomically thin materials offer a glimpse into a post-silicon-transistor future, but scaling challenges remain. Read the paper: A complementary two-dimensional ...

Ok, we’ll admit it. If you asked us what the first transistorized computer was, we would have guessed it was the TC from the University of Manchester. After all, Dr. Wilkes and company were at the ...
