In the ever-dynamic and fast-moving world of semiconductors, why do some old transistors like 2N3904 keep on going for decades? Bill Schweber takes a closer look at this remarkable premise while ...

Organic TFTs are shaking up the display world, offering flexible new design possibilities that challenge the long-standing dominance of amorphous-silicon transistors. OTFTs vs. a-Si transistors ...

For hard-switched power topologies, Infineon is planning a 100V GaN transistors with a integrated Schottky diode. “Due to the lack of body diode in hard-switching applications, GaN-based topologies ...

Researchers from Queen Mary University and the universities of Nottingham and Glasgow have received a £6 million EPSRC programme grant to develop 2D materials and devices. The researchers will work ...

Researchers in China say they have created a new silicon-free transistor that could significantly boost performance while reducing energy consumption. The team says this development represents a ...

WIRED is where tomorrow is realized. It is the essential source of information and ideas that make sense of a world in constant transformation. The WIRED conversation illuminates how technology is ...
