Silicon is an essential element for creating semiconductors, the building blocks of all modern computing technologies.

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 ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become the workload that defines today’s semiconductor scaling. Whether in hyperscale data centers training foundation models or at the network edge executing ...

This Arduino example code demonstrates how to set up and use the IQS323 Integrated Circuit (IC). The IQS323 is a 3 Channel Self-Capacitive / 3 Channel Mutual-Capacitive / 2 Channel Inductive sensing ...

It’s rather amazing how many electronic components you can buy right now are not quite the genuine parts that they are sold as. Outside of dedicated platforms like Mouser, Digikey and LCSC you pretty ...

The ability to make a very miniature on/off switch changed the world. These tiny switches, known as transistors, make up the basis of all modern computing—they drive your cell phones, your bank ...

Researchers at the Institute of Industrial Science (IIS) at the University of Tokyo in Japan have built tiny transistors that do not use silicon. Instead, the team doped gallium into indium oxide and ...

Shrinking silicon transistors have reached their physical limits, but a team from the University of Tokyo is rewriting the rules. They've created a cutting-edge transistor using gallium-doped indium ...

For decades, the semiconductor industry has been laser-focused on shrinking silicon transistors, but Peking University researchers believe the future might lie in changing materials entirely. In a ...

A semiconductor is a material or device that only conducts electricity under certain conditions. Some elements in the periodic table, such as carbon, silicon, and germanium, are intrinsic ...
