Electronics

By tapping into the enigmatic theory of how neurons transmit signals, scientists have proven they can one day build computer chips with near-zero electrical resistance.

Scientists in China have developed a tensor processing unit (TPU) that uses carbon-based transistors instead of silicon – and they say it's extremely energy efficient.

Wasted radio signals can be converted into electricity using a new kind of antenna rooted in how electrons behave at a quantum level.

Cheap and flexible perovskite solar cells could revolutionize solar power, making it easier than ever to power the world with sunlight.

The "xMEMS XMC-2400 µCooling" chip aims to keep future smartphones from overheating as they become more powerful.

The new device, called a magnetic tunnel junction, can be harnessed to pack more computing power onto a chip than was previously thought possible.

A new material can withstand 'billions' of electrical cycles without wearing out — and scientists say it could transform electronics within 10 to 20 years.
