EVANSTON, Ill. — Transistors based on a new kind of material created by Northwestern University researchers have been lifted into outer space on the space shuttle Endeavour and attached to the outside ...

Perovskites are a class of materials with a unique crystal structure that suits applications such as fabricating solar cells, ...

For nearly two decades, two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have been studied as a complement or possible successor to silicon transistors, promising smaller, faster and more energy-efficient ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers at Purdue University have created a "unified model" for predicting the reliability of new designs for silicon transistors – a potential tool that industry could use ...

Nanoscale 3D transistors made from ultrathin semiconductor materials can operate more efficiently than silicon-based devices, leveraging quantum mechanical properties to potentially enable ...

A new silicon carbide-based motor drive for hybrid aircraft engines reduces size and weight while improving efficiency. Tested in a Cessna 337, the inverter allows lighter, more compact electric ...

This tester is intended to quickly check whether a transistor is functional or not and possibly also select two or more transistors with (approximately) equal gains. This is about the simplest ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics. The spread of h FE values in a batch of transistors may be wide enough to cause unreliable performance during mass production of a ...

Transistors are a dime a dozen—or maybe a dime a billion. When it comes to designing a state-of-the-art mobile device or a high-performance server, it’s how you put the transistors together that ...
