For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is running into hard physical limits. A new approach from MIT aims to sidestep ...
Quantum computing has long promised breakthroughs in chemistry, logistics, finance, and climate modeling, but the hardware ...
As chip manufacturers edge ever closer to the limits of what can be achieved with silicon, researchers have been exploring ways of boosting performance and power efficiency by stacking other ...
On Wednesday, a team of researchers from China used a paper published in Nature to describe a 32-bit RISC-V processor built using molybdenum disulfide instead of silicon as the semiconductor. For ...
With smaller process nodes becoming increasingly more expensive to achieve, chip manufacturing engineers are turning to other ways to increase the number of transistors that can be packed into a ...
Advances in materials and architecture could lead to silicon-free chip manufacturing thanks to a new type of transistor. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
Nothing is worse for a design team than a chip that fails to work in the bringup lab. Electrical problems are historically a major cause of such failures. Power leaks, power-ground DC paths, missing ...
Why it matters: Silicon transistors are great, but just like any other object in the physical world, they are held back by a few limitations. The laws of physics put a bottleneck on performance and ...
Taiwanese manufacturer TSMC will begin producing the chips from the second half of this year. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. On ...
