Silicon has reigned supreme in electronics for the better part of a century, and now a new version might help extend its use into the future. Engineers at North Carolina State University (NCSU) have ...

(Nanowerk News) Researchers at the Universities of Melbourne and Manchester have invented a technique for manufacturing highly purified silicon that brings powerful quantum computers a big step closer ...

Gaze into the temporal distance and you might spot the end of the age of silicon looming somewhere out there, as a research team at Penn State University claims to have built the first working CMOS ...

A startup has launched the first quantum device in the world that blends the potential of quantum computing with the convenience and integration of traditional high-performance computing (HPC). Equal1 ...

Since computers were invented, we had to speak in their language—silicon. Over the years, coding languages have made writing programs faster. • Turing mechanical computer. • Punch cards. • Procedure ...

This graphic depicts the structure of an extremely thin semiconductor called molybdenum disulfide, which is particularly promising for future flexible and transparent electronic devices for displays, ...

The invention of the computer is often articulated like a three-act play: the idea of the computer arrives, then there is the process of how to make the computer and, finally, there is the creation.

This conceptual illustration of a computer based on 2D molecules displays an actual scanning electron microscope image of the computer fabricated by a team by researchers at Penn State. The keyboard ...
