Switching has almost always meant “hard" switching, which is simple but comes with all kinds of electrical and thermal ...

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 ...

While many research efforts are underway to develop active devices that can function in the challenging terahertz spectrum, others are leapfrogging to try to get some devices operate into the ...

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 ...
