USC-led SWIFT project aims to reinvent the transistor using waves of magnetism, potentially slashing energy use and cooling costs, while helping GPS resist jamming ...

Build your own ESP32 and ESP8266 projects this weekend. We detail 10 practical IoT builds, including a Wi-Fi weather station using a DHT22.

Superconducting transistor quantum computing reaches a milestone: Finnish startup S-Transistors, spun from VTT, raised 2.6 ...

Last week I revealed the sneaky physics behind the “joule thief,” an electrical circuit that lets you squeeze more energy out of seemingly dead batteries. The key, it turned out, was a clever pairing ...

In July 2026, social media posts claimed U.S. President Donald Trump confused the words "transistor" and "transgender" during a speech criticizing the CHIPS and Science Act, a 2022 bipartisan effort ...

Direct imaging shows that the contacts through which current flows into atomically thin transistors can be scaled down to just a few nanometres in length. Read the paper: Directly probing the carrier ...

IBM on Thursday unveiled the first chip created using its latest semiconductor technologies, one that holds nearly 100 billion transistors in a fleck of hardware no bigger than your fingernail.

The company, along with others, is pursuing a new paradigm for cramming more transistors on chips—building up. IBM has built a new prototype chip with around 100 billion transistors on an area the ...

Transistors in some circuit configurations work together and, frequently, need to be matched. This is so common that you can sometimes find ICs that are just a pair of transistors made with the same ...

Nvidia Corp. today announced a new flagship graphics processing unit, Rubin, that provides five times the inference performance of Blackwell. The GPU made its debut at CES alongside five other data ...

Here’s a fun build from [RootSaid] that is suitable for people just getting started with microcontrollers and robotics — an Arduino-controlled two-wheeled robot. The video assumes you already have one ...
