A new technique could solve one of the biggest challenges in making future computer chips from ultrathin materials. Researchers found that coating molybdenum disulfide with oxygen or fluorine lets manufacturers remove just the top layer of atoms much more safely during plasma processing.

President Donald Trump’s ambiguous plans for 100% tariffs on computer chips that aren’t made in the U.S. are stoking confusion among businesses

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Wednesday that he will impose a 100% tariff on computer chips, raising the specter of higher prices for electronics, autos, household appliances and other essential products dependent on the processors powering ...

Transistors etched into the latest processor designs now measure just a few nanometers across, placing them well below the physical size of a common virus particle. That comparison is not metaphorical.

Samsung has reportedly secured work on Elon Musk’s fourth-generation Neuralink chip, marking another major partnership between the company and Musk after their recent chip

Inside computer chips are billions of tiny transistors made from silicon. But the material is approaching its limits. In an effort to build smaller, more capable devices, researchers are exploring how they might build transistors with other materials alongside silicon,

GlobalFoundries is making processors that can be used in space, working with BAE Systems and Northrop Grumman Space Systems to make radiation-hardened chips.

Low-power computer chip startup Efficient Computer Co. today announced the launch of its new flagship Electron E1 processor, dramatically reducing the energy requirements of general-purpose computing workloads. The Electron E1 processor is available to ...

The rapid advancement and diffusion of artificial intelligence (AI) systems, such as the machine learning models underpinning the functioning of ChatGPT, Gemini and similar platforms, have posed new demands on the electronics engineering industry.

Heat is the enemy of much of the tech world. As processors crunch the numbers necessary to solve a query, generate an image or perform an action, the chips heat up. Once they hit temperatures of 200 degrees Celsius, most tend to fail. That’s why personal ...
