For decades, chipmakers kept Moore’s Law alive by shrinking transistors sideways, etching ever-finer features into flat slabs ...
As traditional chip miniaturization slows, researchers have found a way to pack more computing power into the same space by stacking silicon circuits in multiple layers. The new process uses ...
For decades, chipmakers squeezed more transistors onto processors by shrinking them sideways. That playbook is running out of ...
In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .
On Monday, at the 2026 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS) in Shanghai, He Tingbo, President of ...

The transistor is the basic technology behind, well, everything in modern computing. In digital circuits, a transistor acts like a tiny voltage-controlled switch: it can be on, allowing current to ...
At what age did you begin learning about electronics? What was the state of the art available to you at the time and what kinds of things were you building? For each reader these answers can be wildly ...
Over the past decades, electronics engineers worldwide have been trying to develop devices that could enable even faster communications between devices, all while consuming less energy. To meet the ...
