The processors in today’s computers have grown tremendously in performance, capabilities and complexity over the past decade. Clock speed has skyrocketed, and size has dwindled, even as the number of ...

A microprocessor is a complex, programmable integrated circuit (IC) on a single chip that can execute instructions. This generally includes CPUs found in computers but also refers to the ...

MIT and ADI have built a 16-bit processor using carbon nanotubes (CNTs). 10 million CNTs were used to form 14,702 CMOS CNT field-effect transistors (CNTFETs), arranged in 3,762 digital logic blocks, ...

A team of engineers at Fudan University has successfully designed, built and run a 32-bit RISC-V microprocessor that uses molybdenum disulfide instead of silicon as its semiconductor component. Their ...
