Every computer chip is built from a switch smaller than anything the human eye can resolve, and for decades engineers have ...

Can transistors switch below the conventional power limit without sacrificing useful current? A 2D device uses quantum ...

MIT engineers have developed a magnetic transistor that could pave the way for smaller, faster, and more efficient electronics. By replacing silicon with a magnetic semiconductor, the team created a ...

In a nutshell: Back in 2021, a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology made waves by creating an entirely new type of ferroelectric material. Now, those same researchers have one-upped ...

Inside there's a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core. When a current flows through this control wire, it creates a magnetic field. This pulls down the metal switch on top, which contacts the ...

“Three-terminal thermal analogies to electrical transistors have been proposed for use in thermal amplification, thermal switching, or thermal logic, but have not yet been demonstrated experimentally.

Scientists from the University of Washington have designed custom proteins that can switch between two fully structured conformations. By coupling this molecular motion with a binding event, these ...
