This is precisely the frontier being explored through quantum thermal transistors, devices designed to replicate electronic transistor functionality at the quantum scale, but for heat.

University of Utah electrical engineers fabricated the smallest plasma transistors that can withstand high temperatures and ionizing radiation found in a nuclear reactor. Such transistors someday ...

In a shining example of the inexorable march of technology, IBM has unveiled new semiconductor chips with the smallest transistors ever made. The new 2-nanometer (nm) tech allows the company to ...

The team has also developed an innovative hot-emitter transistor (HOET), achieving an ultralow sub-threshold swing of less than 1 mV/dec and a peak-to-valley current ratio exceeding 100.

A nanowire transistor with full CMOS functionality has been fabricated without the use of junctions or doping concentration gradients.

Intel has suggested silicon transistors can only keep shrinking for another five years. The computers in our pockets will probably feel the effects later than other types of computing devices ...

IBM, meanwhile, has already begun to experiment with 5-nm chips. Some of the new transistors developed by the researchers halve that again, measuring a record-setting 2.5 nm wide.

Five years later, after publishing tons of papers on the study of III-V materials, the conclusion was that we don’t see this benefit when we go to short-channel transistors because mobility drops out, ...

There are numerous differences between NPN and PNP transistors, and even though both are bipolar junction transistors, the direction of current flow is the name of the game.
