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.

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.

Putting the silicon membranes on the receiving wafer. (University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign) In recent years, computer chip performance has bumped up against the physical limitations of the space available on integrated circuits.

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.

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

AI models are power hogs. As the algorithms grow and become more complex, they’re increasingly taxing current computer chips. Multiple companies have designed chips tailored to AI to reduce power draw. But they’re all based on one fundamental rule ...
