Ah, yes Germanium the first material Integrated Circuits where made of. In the mean time other variants of fast CMOS circuits are being produced or nearing mass production, e.g. Germanium pFET ...

Scientists have long sought to make semiconductors—vital components in computer chips and solar cells—that are also superconducting, thereby enhancing their speed and energy efficiency and enabling ...

According to a research recently published in Nature Communications, threefold coordinated germanium was found in a GeO 2 melt for the first time, which may settle down the long-standing debate on the ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Over the past 70 years, the number of transistors on a chip has doubled approximately every two years – according to Moore’s Law, which is still valid today. The circuits have become correspondingly ...
