Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

A new kind of computer processors has been developed by integrating atomically thin non-silicon transistors on to single chips 1. A transistor acts as a switch and controls the flow of charge ...
