Individual transistors made from carbon nanotubes are faster and more energy efficient than those made from other materials. Going from a single transistor to an integrated circuit full of transistors ...

Accurately measuring small shifts in biological markers, like proteins and neurotransmitters, or harmful chemicals in the water supply, can identify critical problems before they have a chance to ...

The discovery of carbon nanotubes has heralded a new era of scientific discovery that includes the promise of ultra-sensitive bomb detectors and super-fast computer memory chips. But finding a way to ...

The team fit sensors built with their new field-effect transistor design onto integrated circuit boards, like the one ...

Bokor cautions that the integrated circuit they have built is not a likely candidate for commercialization just yet. For one, the molybdenum they used to protect the circuit from heat damage is not a ...

The formal name of the chip. An integrated circuit (IC) combines thousands, millions or billions of transistors on a single substrate. A certain number of resistors and capacitors may also reside on ...

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.

IBM researchers have made the first graphene circuit in which all of the circuit elements are integrated on a compact single chip. The new circuit is another important step forward for graphene-based ...

On this day in economic and business history... In an epochal paper published in Electronics magazine on April 19, 1965 and simply titled "Cramming more components onto integrated circuits," Fairchild ...
