Silicon is so important for electronics and computing that it’s become synonymous with technology – even getting a valley named after it – but the stuff still has its flaws. Now, scientists have ...

Quantum technologies are highly promising devices that process, transfer or store information leveraging quantum mechanical ...

Researchers at the University of New South Wales (USNW) in Sydney, Australia, recently developed a chip design for a quantum computer that leverages conventional silicon CMOS transistor designs, ...

Foremost among silicon's distinguishing features is that, quite simply, there is a hell of a lot of it. After oxygen, it's the second most abundant element in the Earth's crust -- but don't expect to ...

A U.K. startup has created the world's first silicon-based quantum computer manufactured using the same transistor technology found in nearly all modern digital electronics. The machine is built using ...

Researchers at the Universities of Melbourne and Manchester have invented a breakthrough technique for manufacturing highly purified silicon that brings powerful quantum computers a big step closer.

Scientists say they have reached "a critical inflection point" after developing a technology that makes silicon-based quantum ...

A new method enables 2D-material semiconductor transistors to be directly integrated onto a fully fabricated 8-inch silicon wafer, which could enable a new generation of transistor technology, denser ...

China has unveiled its first engineering demonstration line for a new generation of microprocessors made from ultrathin ...
