For half a century, electronics has been synonymous with transistors. These ubiquitous electronic switches have changed beyond recognition since the first walnut-sized hand built devices: you can now ...

Scientists made a single-molecule transistor using quantum interference to control electron flow. This new design offers high on/off ratio and stability, potentially leading to smaller, faster, and ...

“In contemporary general-purpose graphics processing units (GPGPUs), the continued increase in raw arithmetic throughput is constrained by the capabilities of the register file (single-cycle) and last ...

Forward-looking: As manufacturers search for ways to extend the life of Moore's Law, building transistors only a few atoms thick – called 2D Materials – could be a path forward. Researchers are trying ...

R. Stanley Williams was previously employed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise and presently owns stock in the company. He has received research funding from Texas A&M University. He is member of the IEEE.

On Oct. 3, 1950, three scientists at Bell Labs in New Jersey received a U.S. patent for what would become one of the most important inventions of the 20th century — the transistor. John Bardeen, ...
