Advances in materials and architecture could lead to silicon-free chip manufacturing thanks to a new type of transistor.

Duke engineers show how a common device architecture used to test 2D transistors overstates their performance prospects in real-world devices.

Lab architecture used to test 2D semiconductors artificially boosts performance metrics, making it harder to assess whether these materials can truly replace silicon.

The growing energy use of AI has gotten a lot of people working on ways to make it less power hungry. One option is to develop processors that are a better match to the sort of computational needs of ...

Modern CPU transistor counts are enormous -- AMD announced earlier this month that a full implementation of its 7nm Epyc "Rome" CPU weighs in at 32 billion transistors. To this, Cerebras Technology ...

These prototype processors made from atomically thin materials offer a glimpse into a post-silicon-transistor future, but scaling challenges remain. Read the paper: A complementary two-dimensional ...
