  • Stanford researchers explore flexible transistors
    December 18, 2006 – 5:18 PM
    Organic - or carbon-based - transistors are not new and can be used to design flexible computer displays, RFID tags and sensors.
  • Intel considers 3D transistors for 32 nm processors
    June 12, 2006 – 2:13 AM
    Intel is going to great lengths to get a better handle on the power consumption of its semiconductors. On step closer to reality is the "tri-gate" transistor, which enables the company to gain more flexibility in adjusting, processor performance and power consumption. The technology could be available by 2009 and drop a chip's total power by 35%, Intel said.
  • Flexible transistors for your clothes
    October 3, 2006 – 6:33 PM
    Physicists from Austria and the U.S. have built ultra-thin pressure sensors which can be woven into sensitive textiles.
  • Organic (plastic) Transistors Heal Themselves Over Time In A Vacuum
    December 3, 2007 – 9:43 PM
    Organic semiconductors are manufactured with molecular flaws. New research has shown that if left in a high vacuum chamber for several days, many of those molecular flaws heal themselves.
  • HP researchers find solution to replace transistors
    February 1, 2005 – 2:11 PM
    Hewlett-Packard (HP) today announced its researchers have proven that their "crossbar latch" could replace the transistor, the fundamental building block of computers for the last half century. The molecule-based technology could offer new opportunities to accelerate and construct computers in the future.
  • Strained silicon to accelerate transistors by 24 percent
    December 13, 2004 – 12:28 PM
    AMD and IBM have developed a strained silicon transistor technology which the firms believe will dramatically increase processor performance. Prototype transistors posted a 24 percent performance gain while running at the same power levels transistors produced without the technology.
  • 3D transistors cut power consumption by 50%
    December 4, 2006 – 1:29 PM
    Infineon today said that it has developed multi-gate FINFET transistors, often also described as 3D transistors that dramatically reduce the amount of leakage current. The chip company believes that portable devices built around 3D transistors technology could run about twice as long as products using traditional planar circuitry.
  • Nvidia's GT200 Chip To Pack About 1 Billion Transistors Into 576 Mm2
    May 21, 2008 – 7:20 PM in NVIDIA
    Zagreb (Croatia) - While travelling in Europe we stumbled across more details about Nvidia's upcoming graphics card, which surely looks more and more like a processing monster to us.
  • Quantum effect offers molecular transistors
    September 8, 2006 – 2:57 PM
    A molecular switch that operates in a fundamentally new way could usher in a generation of microprocessors that work on the molecular scale.
