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 ...

Innovative tool for producing computer chips uses giant, nearly perfect mirrors to make tiny transistors and circuits.

For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is running into hard physical limits. A new approach from MIT aims to sidestep ...
