A new article examines the history of computing to help outline the direction of quantum research. It reports that quantum ...

While two-dimensional art makes sense on paper, it sort of falls apart in the real world, which is 3D all the way. But chip ...

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

What many engineers once saw as a flaw in organic electronics could actually make these devices more stable and reliable, ...

I attended an AI conference in Seattle and participated in the 2025 IEDM and its celebration of the 100th anniversary of the ...

Diamond color centers are a well researched field, but using them at scale as qubits was out of reach until recently. Their ...

We all know, at least intellectually, that our computers are all built with lots of tiny transistors. But beyond that it’s a little hard to describe. They’re printed on a silicon wafer somehow, and ...

On Dec. 16, 1947, the future began with the invention of the transistor. A lab notebook indicates that researchers at Bell Telephone Laboratories first got the thing to work on this day 75 years ago.

75 years ago this month, research scientists working at Bell Labs first created, then unveiled to the world a new device—the point contact transistor. Some call it the greatest invention of the 20th ...

The future began 75 years ago this week with the invention of something small that’s considered the most manufactured item in human history. Odds are, you are surrounded by them right now. The ...

Tellurium nanowire transistors switch between boosting and suppressing their light response through voltage alone, enabling ...
