Nvidia Corp. today announced a new flagship graphics processing unit, Rubin, that provides five times the inference performance of Blackwell. The GPU made its debut at CES alongside five other data ...

The ability to make a very miniature on/off switch changed the world. These tiny switches, known as transistors, make up the basis of all modern computing—they drive your cell phones, your bank ...

When one thinks of portable consumer electronics that are now largely obsolete, portable CD players, minidisc players, and portable cassette tape players are products that immediately come to mind.

For decades, the semiconductor industry has been laser-focused on shrinking silicon transistors, but Peking University researchers believe the future might lie in changing materials entirely. In a ...

How the first transistor evolved to meet new and emerging application demands as underlying structures transform and multi-die systems gained further adoption. How transistors have enabled the ...

Figure 1 shows a variation on a sine wave oscillator, it uses just two transistors and a single variable resistor to set the frequency. Figure 1 Just a couple of components are needed for a simple ...

Your beloved pooch has a tendency to run off. It’s time to pay a visit to the vet to get her microchipped. On the morning of your appointment, the alarm on your smartphone wakes you up. The house is ...

Why it matters: Silicon transistors are great, but just like any other object in the physical world, they are held back by a few limitations. The laws of physics put a bottleneck on performance and ...

Researchers have developed a new type of transistor that they say could "change the world of electronics" within the next two decades. The new transistor is built using an ultrathin material created ...

In a nutshell: Back in 2021, a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology made waves by creating an entirely new type of ferroelectric material. Now, those same researchers have one-upped ...
