For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is running into hard physical limits. A new approach from MIT aims to sidestep ...

TL;DR: Researchers at Peking University developed a silicon-free transistor using bismuth oxyselenide, offering faster electron movement and full gate coverage around the source. This design promises ...

Chinese boffins have emerged from their smoke-filled labs with a transistor that could outgun current US chip tech while guzzling less power. According to the South China Morning Post, the Chinese ...

A new kind of computer processors has been developed by integrating atomically thin non-silicon transistors on to single chips 1. A transistor acts as a switch and controls the flow of charge ...

Taiwan's world-leading microchip manufacturer TSMC says it has started mass producing next-generation "2-nanometer" chips.

The smaller electronic components become, the more complex their manufacture becomes. This has been a major problem for the chip industry for years. At TU Wien, researchers have now succeeded for the ...

Apple's iPhone 18 processor may have the biggest year-over-year price increase yet, as the company's chip partner pushes into ...
