Seeking to keep Moore's Law on pace, researchers have developed a repeatable technique for assembling a single-atom version of the transistor--the building block of semiconductors and computers.

Researchers have developed a single-atom transistor, the world's smallest. This quantum electronics component switches electrical current by controlled repositioning of a single atom, now also in the ...

Researchers based at the University of New South Wales, Australia, have created a single-atom transistor which has been described as “perfect”. Researchers based at the University of New South Wales, ...

Quantum electronics element enables switching energies smaller than those of conventional silicon technologies by a factor of 10,000. They produced two minute metallic contacts. Between them, there is ...

Manufacturing companies, particularly those that mass-produce electronic circuits, work pretty much around bipolar junction transistors, like PNP and NPN. However, choosing between these two BJTs can ...

Researchers from Germany, Japan and the United States have managed to create a tiny, reliable transistor assembled from a single molecule and a dozen additional atoms. The transistor reportedly ...

Absurdly powerful personal computers and smartphones could hit the shelves with 15 years thanks to the invention of a single-atom transistor. The breakthrough was made by researchers from the ...

As far as transistor size is concerned, it doesn't get any smaller than this. An international group of researchers from the Helsinki University of Technology, the University of New South Wales and ...

The basic unit of matter could become the basic unit of computing. A lone atom of phosphorus embedded in a sheet of silicon has been made to act as a transistor. It is not the first single-atom ...

Quantum computing research scientists at the University of Maryland's A. James Clark School of Engineering have developed the first single-photon transistor using a semiconductor chip. The research, ...
