Ok, we’ll admit it. If you asked us what the first transistorized computer was, we would have guessed it was the TC from the University of Manchester. After all, Dr. Wilkes and company were at the ...

A bioelectronic engineer, Klas Tybrandt of Linkoping University in Sweden, has built the first "ion transistor" computer chip, which uses chemical ions and biological molecules as charge carriers ...

For decades, silicon transistors have driven computational power, and scientists have devoted much of their time to making them smaller. That is because shrinking these tiny electronic switches that ...
