Constructed of 40% glass-filled polyphenylene sulfide, a variety of machine-screw shoulder insulators offer grounding protection for power transistors. The parts come in a traditional shoulder design, ...

2D semiconductors (such as graphene) could revolutionize electronics: They can be used to produce extremely small transistors. However, in order to make a transistor, insulators are required too. So ...

Squeezing the right amount of potassium ions between the atomic layers of molybdenum disulfide can turn it from a semiconductor into a metal, superconductor or insulator. “The variety of electronic ...

WASHINGTON–Agere Systems Inc. today said its researchers have built the industry's smallest transistors using hafnium oxide instead of traditional silicon dioxide in the gate-insulator layer. The high ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. It’s often one of the earliest science facts learned in grade ...

Currently, only a small selection of insulators for extremely small transistors exists: SiO2 (right) is amorphous and has an undefined surface, hBN (middle) is crystalline but it is not a good ...
