The late 1950s and early 1960s saw perhaps the most dramatic change ever to hit electrical engineering. When transistors came along, many engineers needed to quickly learn how they worked and how to ...

An engineering research team has invented a new transistor that could revolutionize thin-film electronic devices.Their findings could open the door to the development of flexible electronic devices ...

This research presents a new dual-gate design strategy that enables stable operation even in nanoscale channels,” said Jae Eun Jang, a professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and ...

Chipmaking systems create the smallest atomic-scale features in 3D Gate-All-Around transistorsPrecision™ Selective Nitride PECVD preserves ...

1. What is a semiconductor? Generally speaking, the term semiconductor refers to a material—like silicon—that can conduct electricity much better than an insulator such as glass, but not as well as ...

Integrated circuits (ICs) serve as the basis of computers, tablets, smartphones, and other technology that enhances our daily life. For around 60 years, those circuits have been made from silicon with ...

Researchers have built working transistors from graphene nanoribbons less than a nanometer wide, achieving room-temperature switching performance that silicon struggles to match at similar scales. The ...

(Nanowerk News) Current computer systems represent bits of information, the 1's and 0's of binary code, with electricity. Circuit elements, such as transistors, operate on these electric signals, ...

An engineer has designed a novel computing system made solely from carbon that might one day replace the silicon transistors that power today's electronic devices. An engineer with the Erik Jonsson ...

James M. Early, 81, an electrical engineer and inventor best known for his pioneering work with transistors, died Jan. 12 at a veterans hospital in Palo Alto. The cause of death was not reported.
