NEW TRANSISTOR ACHIEVES ‘COLOSSAL’ SWITCHABLE RESISTANCE
USING QUANTUM MATERIALS AND PHYSICS DEVELOPED IN A FUEL CELL LAB
Silicon has few serious competitors as the material of
choice in the electronics industry. Yet transistors, the switchable valves that
control the flow of electrons in a circuit, cannot simply keep shrinking to
meet the needs of powerful, compact devices; physical limitations like energy
consumption and heat dissipation are too significant.
