Computing is hitting a physical and economic wall just as generative artificial intelligence explodes in complexity and cost.

For half a century, computing advanced in a reassuring, predictable way. Transistors—devices used to switch electrical signals on a computer chip—became smaller. Consequently, computer chips became ...

According to the company, its latest research could pave the way for chips with more than a trillion transistors by 2030, significantly extending the concept of Moore's Law. The computer chip industry ...

(PhysOrg.com) -- Scientists have literally taken a leap into a new era of computing power by making the world's smallest precision-built transistor - a "quantum dot" of just seven atoms in a single ...

MIT announced that a research team there has used a combination of silicon and gallium nitride to create a hybrid computer chip that could ensure the continuation of Moore’s law. Scientists at MIT ...

Scientists at IBM Research have created by far the most advanced neuromorphic (brain-like) computer chip to date. The chip, called TrueNorth, consists of 1 million programmable neurons 256 million ...
