Researchers at Cornell University (Ithaca, NY) have created a single-atom transistor by implanting a designer molecule between two gold electrodes or wires to create a circuit. They believe that they ...

Researchers from the University of Manchester have created the world’s smallest transistor. The transistor, made of graphene (a carbon-based material), measures one atom thick and ten atoms across.

The ever-shrinking features of transistors etched in silicon have always required pushing the cutting edge of manufacturing technology. The discovery of atomically thin materials like graphene and ...

Researchers have used the world's thinnest material to create the world's smallest transistor, one atom thick and ten atoms wide. Reporting their peer-reviewed findings in the latest issue of the ...

A scientist at the University of Liverpool has helped to create the world’s smallest transistor – by proving that a single molecule can power electric circuits. Dr Werner Hofer, from the University’s ...

IBM claims to have developed the world’s smallest working silicon transistor. At 6 nanometers in length (a nanometer, nm, is one-billionth of a meter), the new transistor is at least 10 times smaller ...

The University of California opened its doors in 1869 with just 10 faculty members and 40 students. Today, the UC system has more than 300,000 students and 265,000 faculty and staff, with 2.5 million ...

December 10, 2012. Silicon’s crown is under threat: The semiconductor’s days as the king of microchips for computers and smart devices could be numbered, thanks to the development of the smallest ...

Japan's computer giant NEC Corp said it has developed the world's smallest transistor, a breakthrough that could make it possible to build a supercomputer the size of a personal computer. An NEC ...
