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 ...

Bell Labs has created a tiny new transistor and discovered a way to whip it up in a laboratory beaker. On Thursday, the research arm of Lucent Technologies unveiled a new organic transistor--made from ...

Lab-on-a-chip is a class of devices that can revolutionize the natural working of a laboratory, with multiple laboratory techniques being integrated and automated in a system that fits into a chip of ...

The future began 75 years ago this week with the invention of a device that’s seen as the most manufactured item in human history. The transistor was born in New Jersey on Dec. 16, 1947. This week, we ...

Lab architecture used to test 2D semiconductors artificially boosts performance metrics, making it harder to assess whether these materials can truly replace silicon.

The research 'Impact of Contact Gating on Scaling of Monolayer 2D Transistors Using a Symmetric Dual-Gate Structure' appeared ...

NEW YORK (AP) - Lucent Technologies Inc.'s Bell Labs, the storied research lab that invented the transistor in 1947, announced the development of a tiny new transistor made of a simple cluster of ...

For almost two decades, scientists have been trying to move beyond silicon, the material ...

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...
