Researchers say a simple chemical tweak fixes the contact problem that has held back one half of the atom-thick transistor family most likely to follow silicon.
Kepler claims a 3D stack of a ferroelectric material — one that holds its electric polarization without continuous power, so each cell keeps state without a constant refresh — triples memory density and skips extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) lithography,
A new arXiv paper proposes small DRAM changes that let the working-memory chip compute on data in the layout CPUs already use, skipping a costly reorganization step in older in-memory computing designs, where the memory chip itself runs the math.
University of Central Florida physicists see opposite spins in a layered cobalt crystal, evidence altermagnetism is a third class of magnetism that could let future chips use spin, not just charge.
Memory tagging catches bad memory accesses at the hardware level. Pixel 11 is the first flagship in three years to drop it, and no software update can bring it back.
Palisades is restarting an 805 MWe reactor while pushing a 300 MWe factory-buildable small modular design through federal review on parallel tracks. Only one of them is a new category.
