Solid-state transistors, in turn, enabled technologies like the transistor radio, which took over a field once dominated by technologies like the cat's-whisker detector. Indeed, by the 1950s, ...

Duke engineers show how a common device architecture used to test 2D transistors overstates their performance prospects in real-world devices.

Many things about diamonds seem eternal, including the many engineering problems related to making them work as a silicon replacement in semiconductor technology. Yet much like a diamond exposed ...
