In recent weeks, there have been a number of tributes heralding the invention of the transistor, which was invented by Bell Lab scientists in 1947 and has spawned the modern generation of electronics.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in a circuit – but not if the transistor “type” is undetectable. Purdue University ...

CDimension’s technology, which enables semiconductor makers to manufacture arrays of extremely small, fast, and efficient “2D” transistors, has the potential to change what’s possible for both digital ...

The semiconductor giant wants to avoid past mistakes that have resulted in product delays by taking a new approach to the way it designs chips, which has already resulted with what the company says is ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The seamless integration of electronic devices with living tissue remains one of the most significant challenges in bioelectronics. Traditional electronic components are rigid and ...

WTF?! Silicon has been the material of choice for the semiconductors that power our electronics for decades. Manufacturers and designers are looking for alternatives as they begin to question how much ...

Lab architecture used to test 2D semiconductors artificially boosts performance metrics, making it harder to assess whether these materials can truly replace silicon. (Nanowerk News) Two-dimensional ...

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. -- A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in a circuit - but not if the transistor "type" is undetectable. Purdue University ...

Engineers propose a built-in security measure that would better protect computer chip hardware from hackers. A hacker can reproduce a circuit on a chip by discovering what key transistors are doing in ...
