MIT creates nanoscale transistors for efficient electronics Quantum tunneling delivers low-voltage, high-performance The technology has the potential to replace silicon MIT researchers have developed ...

What is a Single-Electron Transistor? A single-electron transistor (SET) is a nanoscale electronic device that allows the precise control of individual electrons. Unlike conventional transistors that ...

Nanoscale Advances is an international gold open access journal, publishing high-quality research across the breadth of nanoscience and nanotechnology. We are the first Royal Society of Chemistry ...

Molecular electronics is a branch of nanotechnology that focuses on using individual molecules or nanoscale molecular structures as electronic components to create miniaturized circuits and devices.

The first transistor was about half an inch high. That's mammoth by today's standards, when 7 million transistors can fit on a single computer chip. It was nevertheless an amazing piece of technology.

But, they said, no one should expect a silicon transistor for years. Then Gordon Teal of Texas Instruments stood up to give his talk. He pulled three small objects out of his pocket and announced ...

Scientists and engineers the world over have been quietly beavering away in their labs on the new hotness, nanoscale 3D printing with varying success. Recently IEESpectrum reports some promising ...
