For decades, silicon transistors have driven computational power, and scientists have devoted much of their time to making ...

Apple A20 Pro teardown by TechInsights confirms TSMC’s 2nm N2 nanosheet transistors are now in mass-market smartphones -- the first independent validation of foundry claims. The September 22 analysis ...

Thermal is becoming an architectural constraint, requiring trade-offs in power, performance, reliability, floor-planning, packaging, and cooling. Chiplets and advanced packaging make thermal analysis ...

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 ...

At its core, a lot of modern technology depends on relatively simple patterns to receive and relay information. Incidentally, living things have also functioned this way for billions of years—a ...

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 ...

IBM has developed the blueprint for producing a processor using sub-1-nanometer (nm) chip technology, outdoing its own efforts to increase efficiency and processing power with 2-nm tech from a few ...

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.
