Shrinking computers, faster phones, and smarter gadgets all rely on one tiny component: the transistor. Invented in the 20th century, it’s what powers nearly every modern electronic device.

After dominating the electronics industry for decades, conventional silicon-based transistors are gradually approaching their limits, which is preventing engineers from further reducing their size ...

At Peking University, a group of Chinese scientists may have just turned the computing industry up on its head. With a slender sheet of lab-grown bismuth and an architecture unlike anything inside ...

Researchers at Peking University in China have developed the world’s smallest and most energy-efficient ...

A reconfigurable transistor can run AI processes using 100 times less electricity than the standard transistors found in silicon-based chips. It could help spur development of a new generation of ...

These days, we’re seeing Silicon being used less and less. Many new chargers on the market are ditching Silicon for Gallium-Nitride or GaN because it can keep the charging brick cooler, using less ...

Semiconducting CNTs possess several advantages over traditional silicon, including higher carrier mobility and better electrostatic control at nanoscale dimensions. These properties make them ...

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 ...
