When you think about making computer chips better, you probably think about transistors. My colleagues and I focused on a less visible part of the problem: the components that deliver power to those ...

The days of computer chips being mere pieces of tech are long gone. Now, they are very much weapons. Weapons of innovation, wealth, control, and power. That's why all the superpower nations are ...

A new technique could solve one of the biggest challenges in making future computer chips from ultrathin materials. Researchers found that coating molybdenum disulfide with oxygen or fluorine lets ...

The researchers also incorporated a metallic layer that screens unwanted electric fields, preventing them from destabilizing the film’s polarization. With both effects controlled, bismuth ferrite ...

Industry leaders had worried that innovations in chip miniaturization were no longer possible. By Don Clark Reporting from San Francisco For decades, the tech industry has relied on the ability of ...
