A small transistor that can accurately detect tiny traces of RNA from SARS-CoV-2 could herald a new breed of rapid COVID-19 screening tests (J. Am. Chem. Soc. 2021, DOI: 10.1021/jacs.1c06325).

The Cerebras Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE) is the largest chip ever built and has one 1.2 trillion transistors. It is the heart of a deep learning system. It is 56x larger than any other chip. It delivers ...

Complicated and expensive technologies are being planned all the way to 2030, but it’s not clear how far the scaling roadmap will really go. Despite a slowdown in chip scaling amid soaring costs, the ...

On Oct. 3, 1950, three scientists at Bell Labs in New Jersey received a U.S. patent for what would become one of the most important inventions of the 20th century — the transistor. John Bardeen, ...

Moore's Law, which says that the number of transistors on a computer chip will double every two years or so, has managed to hold true for decades. But we're starting to bump up against the physical ...
