Silicon transistors are held back by a physical limit (the 'Boltzmann tyranny') that prevents transistors from operating ...

This means that to increase the efficiency of capture of solar radiation, we have to make hybrid ("multi-junction") cells ...

At the heart of an InGaN LED are InGaN quantum wells, buried within a GaN p-n junction. These devices often feature an AlGaN barrier, used to prevent the overflow of electrons from the quantum well.

This requires a complex set of conditions, including the right energy gap to pull them together ... system won’t superconduct for electronic applications built with transistors and circuits. “To make ...

Recent enhancements to the classic Bipolar junction transistors show that the classic transistor has plenty of life left and ...

Edge computing devices, devices located in proximity to the source of data instead of in large data centers, could perform computations locally. This could reduce latency, particularly in real-time ...

Researchers at the University of Minnesota have achieved a new material that will be pivotal in making the next generation of ...

Nanoscale 3D transistors made from ultrathin semiconductor materials can operate more efficiently than silicon-based devices, leveraging quantum mechanical properties to potentially enable ultra ...

Harris and Trump are trying to address the gender gap. Their approaches could not be more different. By Jess Bidgood If you have been reading this newsletter with any regularity (and I’m ...

Concerns surfaced this summer about whether the semiconductor transistors used throughout the on-board spacecraft electronic systems could withstand the radiation. The Jupiter system is ...
