MIT engineers built a magnetic transistor from chromium sulfur bromide, promising smaller, faster electronics with built-in ...

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has ...

Our microelectronics relies on doped semiconductors. But there is an alternative: Instead of the semiconductor parts ...

The smaller electronic components become, the more complex their manufacture becomes. This has been a major problem for the ...

From simple transistors to complex systems, this article explains the building blocks of digital logic design. Learn how ...

MIT engineers developed a magnetic transistor that could lead to smaller, faster, and more energy-efficient electronics, using a magnetic semiconductor material.

The Senior Pillbox aims to provide a low-cost, fully electronic circuit-based solution with minimal human intervention ...

Minicomputers were mid-range, general-purpose computers in the age of mainframes, the latter taking up large rooms and ...

WASHINGTON - An imcorrectly lined switch led to an Aug. 5 collision between a BNSF Railway train and standing railcars at Denver's Globeville Yard, a collision that seriously injured the train's ...

A new nanostructure acts like a wire and switch that can, for the first time, control and direct the flow of quantum quasiparticles called excitons at room temperature.

The chip industry traditionally has relied on margins to help them mitigate timing problems, but an increasing array of factors are now influencing timing. Can static timing analysis evolve to address ...
