Researchers create transistors combining silicon with biological silk, using common microprocessor manufacturing methods. The silk protein can be easily modified with other chemical and biological ...

A hybrid transistor design that could mean faster and far less power-hungry wireless devices has been unveiled by researchers from IBM. Ghavam Shahidi and colleagues from IBM’s Watson Research Centre ...

Combining the engines of a Ferrari and a Honda Civic would not lead to a fast, fuel-efficient car. Yet the simple trick of coupling a power-sipping transistor to a high-speed one has created a ...
