The chips that datacenters use to run the latest AI breakthroughs generate much more heat than previous generations of silicon. Anybody whose phone or laptop has overheated knows that electronics ...

Silicon is ubiquitous in modern electronics, and now it is becoming increasingly useful in quantum computing. In particular, silicon's compatibility with existing chip technology and its long ...

As humans burn fossil fuels and pump carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, we are heating up the planet. But there is another alarming impact of this climate pollution: it may be changing the chemistry ...

An ant that can turn carbon dioxide in the air into dolomite stone in its exoskeleton may hold clues to how humans can sequester greenhouse gases to avert climate disaster. Fungus-farming ants forage ...

Rising carbon dioxide levels are being detected within the human body, with new research warning a key blood marker for the gas could near its healthy limit within decades if current trends continue.

“As DRAM technology nodes move into the sub-10 nm regime, capacitor scaling is increasingly constrained by both footprint loss and a hard physical thickness limit for the entire ...

DALLAS — Texas Instruments is spending $7.5 billion to buy Austin-based tech firm Silicon Labs to extend its chips enterprise. The two companies on Wednesday announced a definitive acquisition ...

Feb 4 (Reuters) - Texas Instruments (TXN.O), opens new tab on Wednesday agreed to buy chip designer Silicon Laboratories (SLAB.O), opens new tab for about $7.5 billion, aiming to expand its presence ...

Surging emissions from wildfires may have been behind the increase, which was the largest since modern measurements began more than half a century ago. By Raymond Zhong and Sachi Kitajima Mulkey The ...

Historically, making a thin phone meant trading the usual battery for one that's slimmer and less robust. And what good is a thin phone with poor battery life? Up-and-coming silicon-carbon battery ...

Silicon-carbon batteries have made it possible for recent smartphones to launch with huge batteries, but many have been wondering why the tech hasn’t made its way to more smartphones, such as ...

Shrinking silicon transistors have reached their physical limits, but a team from the University of Tokyo is rewriting the rules. They've created a cutting-edge transistor using gallium-doped indium ...
