Indium antimonide doesn't exactly have a ring to it, but the compound could help chipmakers advance in the next decade. Michael Kanellos is editor at large at CNET News.com, where he covers hardware, ...

Move over silicon. A new gallium-nitride (GaN) transistor offers the promise of low-power consumption and high efficiency in high-power, high-temperature electronics such as motor drives for hybrid ...

A reconfigurable transistor can run AI processes using 100 times less electricity than the standard transistors found in silicon-based chips. It could help spur development of a new generation of ...

In this week’s edition of The Prototype we look at the biggest tech breakthroughs of 2025–and the year’s best music.

A team of researchers from Infineon Technologies AG has now been able to show, for the first time, that tiny carbon nanotubes not only represent an interesting alternative for silicon integration or ...

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 ...

NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Japan's NEC Corp. has created a prototype transistor constructed from carbon nanotubes that can operate at more than 10 times the speed of current silicon-based transistors, ...

Canadian scientists have built a prototype of a single-spin transistor. As electronics that relies on the charge of electrons reaches its technology barrier, harnessing the spin of electrons is being ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — The inventors of the transistor-laser —a transistor withboth optical and electrical outputs—claim it fits perfectly within thesemiconductor migration path to integrated optics. That ...
