Your beloved pooch has a tendency to run off. It’s time to pay a visit to the vet to get her microchipped. On the morning of your appointment, the alarm on your smartphone wakes you up. The house is ...

For half a century, computing advanced in a reassuring, predictable way. Transistors—devices used to switch electrical signals on a computer chip—became smaller. Consequently, computer chips became ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists have literally taken a leap into a new era of computing power by making the world's smallest precision-built transistor - a "quantum dot" of just seven atoms in a single ...

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 ...

According to the company, its latest research could pave the way for chips with more than a trillion transistors by 2030, significantly extending the concept of Moore's Law. The computer chip industry ...
