You’ve just finished assembling an electronic project and are ready to power it up, only to realize the battery might be connected backwards. In an instant, a simple mistake can destroy hours of work.

This video explains how transistors work as switches and amplifiers in electronic circuits. Transistors control the flow of current and enable signal processing in everything from small devices to ...

The IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) is considered the premier forum where scientists and engineers come together to disclose, discuss and debate the best recent R&D work in electron ...

With the right mix of materials, TFETs promise cooler, smaller, and more efficient circuits for everything from the Internet of Things to brain-inspired computers. But before they can leave the lab, ...

Since the discovery of graphene in 2004, research over the past two decades has advanced the use of 2D materials in semiconductor manufacturing, with academia playing a crucial role in driving their ...

Pat gelsinger, boss of Intel, a chipmaker, loves to brag that his firm is leading the charge in semiconductor technology by entering the “angstrom era”. The angstrom, named in honour of Anders Jonas ...

A field effect transistor (FET) is a carrier device with three terminals: source, drain, and gate. In FETs, an electric field can be applied at the terminal of the gate, modifying the conductive ...

A graphene layer consists of carbon atoms linked by covalent bonds, forming a honeycomb structure. Its excellent electron mobility, chemical and physical stability, electrical and thermal conductivity ...
