As transistor dimensions continue to shrink, though, structural disorder in metals and at metal-semiconductor interfaces increasingly impedes carrier injection and transport. Metals therefore need a ...

A new study examining online opt-in polling finds that while removing bogus respondents generally improves data quality, no ...

Atomically thin semiconductors could enable dramatically smaller and more efficient chips, but a stubborn problem at the boundary between materials has limited their performance. Researchers have now ...

The Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), in partnership with the National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University (NYCU) in Taipei, Taiwan, has made a key breakthrough for next-generation ...

In July 2026, social media posts claimed U.S. President Donald Trump confused the words "transistor" and "transgender" during a speech criticizing the CHIPS and Science Act, a 2022 bipartisan effort ...

The company, along with others, is pursuing a new paradigm for cramming more transistors on chips—building up. IBM has built a new prototype chip with around 100 billion transistors on an area the ...

Researchers have created a new theoretical framework that shows how memory-preserving "memtransistors" could overcome the intrinsic limits in efficiency faced by conventional semiconductor transistors ...

Transistors in some circuit configurations work together and, frequently, need to be matched. This is so common that you can sometimes find ICs that are just a pair of transistors made with the same ...

Three regional Fed presidents dissent over 'easing bias' in policy statement Dissenters argue inflation is too high for signals favoring rate cuts Powell says dissents reflect shift toward a more ...

Researchers at Cincinnati Children's, working with collaborators at University College London and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, have identified a practical, data-centered strategy to reduce bias in ...

As people increasingly rely on AI-powered chatbots to look up basic facts about the world, a new Yale study shows that those interactions can influence users’ social and political opinions. Prior ...
