Computer researchers have fashioned infinitesimally tiny electronic switches using conventional chipmaking equipment, demonstrating that the semiconductor industry will be able to continue shrinking ...

For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is running into hard physical limits. A new approach from MIT aims to sidestep ...

The technology industry is obsessed with the future. Many of our modern marvels are rooted in the legacy of Bell Labs, an ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists have literally taken a leap into a new era of computing power by making the world's smallest precision-built transistor - a "quantum dot" of just seven atoms in a single ...

Advances in materials and architecture could lead to silicon-free chip manufacturing thanks to a new type of transistor.

DARPA-funded IBM researchers today said they have developed a human brain-inspired computer chip loaded with more than 5 billion transistors and 256 million “synapses,” or programmable logic points, ...

Cadence Design Systems has introduced a virtual artificial intelligence agent. This tool aims to speed up the complex process of designing computer chips. Companies like Nvidia are already using it.
