(Nanowerk News) Over the past 70 years, the number of transistors on a chip has doubled approximately every two years – according to Moore’s Law, which is still valid today. The circuits have become ...

Josephson junction structures—quantum devices made of two superconductors and a thin non-superconducting barrier—using different forms of germanium (Ge): super-Ge (in gold), semiconducting Ge (in blue ...

At the Forschungszentrum Jülich, a new kind of transistor from germanium–tin alloy has been fabricated by scientists. The alloy comes with numerous benefits over traditional switching elements. The ...
