(Phys.org) —Throughout the '70s, '80s and '90s, transistor performance continually increased according to some simple scaling rules. These rules postulate that transistor size and supply voltage should decrease as power ...
(Phys.org) —Future transistors made of semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWNTs) have the potential to perform much better than today's transistors. However, when SWNTs are grown in bulk, only about two-thirds ...
(Phys.org)—A research team from Stanford University led by associate professor Subhasish Mitra and headed by Professor Philip Wong, has demonstrated a computer chip based on transistors made out of carbon nanotubes. The ...
(Phys.org)—Researchers at the University of Maryland have succeeded in creating a transistor using a new kind of paper as a base. As the team describes in their paper published in the journal ACS Nano, they were able to ...
