In 1782, Alessandro Volta was the first to use the term "semiconducting" to describe the electrical properties of certain materials. In 1833, Michael Faraday observed that the resistance of silver ...

The invention of the transistor is one of the most important inventions of the 20th century. The transistor was invented in ...

How the first transistor evolved to meet new and emerging application demands as underlying structures transform and multi-die systems gained further adoption. How transistors have enabled the ...

Building things in a lab is easy, at least when compared to scaling up for mass production. That’s why there are so many articles about fusion being right around the corner, or battery technology that ...

What semiconductors were like 70 years ago. How semiconductor technology has changed over the years. Electronic Design has been around a bit longer than I have worked in the industry—but not by much.

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 ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure. Electronic devices based on 2D semiconductors are considered one of the most promising ...

Recent research at the Technion lays the ground for future high-performance alternatives to silicon in microelectronics. By stretching an oxide material at an atomic level, the researchers are able to ...
