Groundbreaking crystal oxide transistors are faster, smaller and more reliable than silicon
Shrinking computers, faster phones, and smarter gadgets all rely on one tiny component: the transistor. Invented in the 20th century, it’s what powers nearly every modern electronic device.
Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

MIT's chip stacking breakthrough could cut energy use in power-hungry AI processes
Data doesn’t have to travel as far or waste as much energy when the memory and logic components are closer together.
A new low-profile power transistor socket has been designed to facilitate installation of JEDEC TO-3 NPN power transistors by eliminating the need to use insulated bushings. The TO-3 power transistor ...
