On Oct. 3, 1950, three Bell Labs scientists received a patent for a "three-electrode circuit element" that would usher in the ...

Researchers have discovered a new physical phenomenon that could yield transistors with greatly enhanced capacitance -- a measure of the voltage required to move a charge. And that, in turn, could ...

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Purdue University engineers have new information contradicting the most dire predictions about the imminent demise of Moore's Law, a general rule that is central to the ...

Modern computers are continually revolutionising our lives by performing tasks that were deemed almost impossible decades ago. A long array of innovations has allowed modern computers, as we know them ...

A new way of designing chips could solve one of the biggest problems facing wearable computers such as Google Glass and the Samsung smart watch—their batteries generally have to be recharged every day ...

STACKS of nanomagnets could make future supercomputers run leaner. Microchips made from tiny magnets rather than conventional power-hungry transistors may enable intensive number-crunching tasks like ...

One of the semiconductor devices built in almost all electronic devices such as televisions, mobile phones, and PCs is "A transistor"is. Although I have heard of the name, actually it is not generally ...

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 ...
