Flash memory cells add a second (or 'floating') gate to the standard MOSFET transistor geometry. This second gate controls the trapping and release of an electric charge that in turn affects ...

At the time, the field was focused on making the transistor ever smaller. Before nanotechnology became a popular area of research, Hersam understood there were going to be significant challenges to ...

The transistor, which is described in a paper published in the Nature Nanotechnology, opens new possibilities for using quantum effects in electronic devices. Transistors are the basic building ...

It is widely agreed, for instance, that William Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain invented the first transistor in ... and nanoscience and nanotechnology in particular.
