EVANSTON, Ill. — Transistors based on a new kind of material created by Northwestern University researchers have been lifted into outer space on the space shuttle Endeavour and attached to the outside ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Researchers at Purdue University have created a "unified model" for predicting the reliability of new designs for silicon transistors – a potential tool that industry could use ...

For nearly two decades, two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have been studied as a complement or possible successor to silicon transistors, promising smaller, faster and more energy-efficient ...

Nanoscale 3D transistors made from ultrathin semiconductor materials can operate more efficiently than silicon-based devices, leveraging quantum mechanical properties to potentially enable ...

A new silicon carbide-based motor drive for hybrid aircraft engines reduces size and weight while improving efficiency. Tested in a Cessna 337, the inverter allows lighter, more compact electric ...
