From computers to smartphones, from smart appliances to the internet itself, the technology we use every day only exists ...

Amorphous oxide semiconductors like IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) offer acceptable carrier mobility with very low leakage.

This phenomenon became known as Moore’s Law, after the businessman and scientist Gordon Moore. Moore’s Law summarised the ...

Before transistors and microchips, engineers had limited options for building computing machines. Light bulbs, known as ...

Data doesn’t have to travel as far or waste as much energy when the memory and logic components are closer together.

Ghanaian student Tyrone Iras Marhguy, now at the University of Pennsylvania, has built a working computer brain from scratch in his dorm room, designing an 8-bit ALU with 3,488 transistors after his ...

Gates-backed silicon photonics startup unveils optical transistors 10,000× smaller and chips with 1,000× squared matrix ...

Microsoft’s Maia 200 AI chip highlights a growing shift towards a model of vertical integration where one company designs and ...

Maia 200 packs 140+ billion transistors, 216 GB of HBM3E, and a massive 272 MB of on-chip SRAM to tackle the efficiency crisis in real-time inference. Hyperscalers prioritiz ...

Neurophos is taking a crack at solving the AI industry's power efficiency problem with an optical chip that uses a composite material to do the math required in AI inferencing tasks.

The concept centers on an optical processing unit – a chip that performs calculations using light rather than electrons. Neurophos says its technology could reach 470 ...

The Maia 200 AI chip is described as an inference powerhouse — meaning it could lead AI models to apply their knowledge to ...
