The handedness or “chirality” of electrons affects how current flows in graphene transistors, according to new work done by researchers in the UK and Russia. The team’s findings could help to make ...

Graphene has already brought us the world's smallest transistor – twice – and now the one atom thick form of carbon that recently won its discoverers the Nobel Prize has been used to create a ...

N-MOS and P-MOS transistors are analogous respectively to NPN and PNP transistors but their conduction mechanism is based completely on one type of carrier: holes for the PMOS and electrons for the ...

Current sensing is used to perform two essential circuit functions. First, it measures “how much” current is flowing in a circuit; information that may be used for power management in a DC/DC power ...

The first transistor was about half an inch high. That's mammoth by today's standards, when 7 million transistors can fit on a single computer chip. It was nevertheless an amazing piece of technology.

Intel has announced the world's first 3-D microprocessor transistor for mass production. It's a major breakthrough for the semiconductor industry, which has been trying for years to get the ...
