When it comes to predicting the future of technology, Stan Williams shows the traditional caution of a veteran computer scientist. But when it comes to the role silicon plays in the composition of ...

Scientists led by a team from Fudan University in Shanghai have created a new flexible fiber chip as thin as a human hair.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--Written off lately by the computer industry as a has-been, Sun Microsystems may still have a few tricks up its engineers' shirt sleeves. On Tuesday, Sun researchers plan to ...

The Computer History Museum is celebrating the 50th anniversary of the integrated circuit, pictured above, with a multimedia exhibit called “The Silicon Engine” to explain why many claim the IC as one ...

A single-molecule logic circuit has shown that using carbon nanotubes instead of silicon pathways could someday soup up integrated circuits to near-terahertz processing, up from today’s low-gigahertz ...

__1958: __New hire Jack Kilby shows his Texas Instruments colleagues a little something he's built. A very little something: a working integrated circuit on a piece of semiconductor material. The ...

Every component that generates and transports serial data streams contributes jitter, but you can minimize jitter in components if you can measure it. Using circuit simulation, researchers at the ...

It's not an anniversary that often gets notice, but today marks 55 years since the creation of the first integrated circuit by Jack St. Clair Kilby of Texas Instruments. In the time since, the chip ...

A technical paper titled “Neuromorphic analog circuits for robust on-chip always-on learning in spiking neural networks” was published by researchers at Institute of Neuroinformatics, University of ...
