We recently looked at the origins of the integrated circuit (IC) and the calculator, which was the IC’s first killer app, but a surprise twist is that the calculator played a big part in the invention ...
Researchers have developed a microprocessor built on high-performance plastic rather than silicon—and they say it could enable smarter food labels and supply chain management. Christopher Intagliata: ...
With diminishing returns of silicon field-effect transistor (FET) scaling 1, the need for FETs leveraging nanotechnologies has been steadily increasing. Carbon nanotubes (CNTs, nanoscale cylinders ...
