Microprocessors in smartphones, computers, and data centers process information by manipulating electrons through solid semiconductors, but our brains have a different system. They rely on the ...

Researchers developed a dual-modulated vertical transistor that suppresses leakage at nanoscale channels and supports ...

Researchers previously reported a self-aligned technique for making graphene transistors with unparalleled speed, but scalability was a question. The team now uses a dielectrophoresis assembly ...

NASA’s new silicon-germanium (SiGe) electronics can operate at -180°C and withstand 5 Mrad radiation, enabling autonomous exploration of Europa and other ocean worlds.

Linear Technology's recently introduced LTC4300 chip buffers I 2 C clock and data lines to and from a hot-swappable card. This task is difficult because the IC must work bidirectionally, meaning that ...

In an advance that helps pave the way for next-generation electronics and computing technologies—and possibly paper-thin gadgets —scientists with the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley ...

When a Hackaday article proclaims that its subject is a book you should read, you might imagine that we would be talking of a seminal text known only by its authors’ names. Horowitz and Hill, perhaps, ...

Nanotechnology continues its rapid evolution as two more research groups report on the assembly of individual molecules and molecular scale structures into functional logic circuits. Researchers from ...

A team of Chinese researchers has built a ferroelectric transistor with a gate length of just 1 nanometer that runs on 0.6 ...

[Kevin Darrah] wanted to make a simple 3.3V regulator without using an integrated circuit. He wound up using two common NPN transistors and 4 1K resistors. The circuit isn’t going to beat out a cheap ...
