Most lab testing quietly inflates 2D transistor performance, research reveals

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 ...
Morning Overview on MSN

Engineers at Illinois just stacked silicon transistors three layers deep — 625 per layer, matching standard chip performance and finally giving Moore’s Law a new path for…

For decades, chipmakers kept Moore’s Law alive by shrinking transistors sideways, etching ever-finer features into flat slabs ...

Evolution of the Transistor

In the beginning, there was the point-contact transistor. This was the very first transistor ever made, built by Walter Brattain with the help of John Bardeen. It was made of two gold foil contacts ...
