A New Light-Based Transistor Could Completely Change the Way Chips Work
Transistors are everywhere—in your computer, car, phone, and refrigerator—but they’re not shrinking fast enough to satisfy our hunger for ever-faster devices. A new kind of light-based transistor might just fix that. At its most straightforward, a transistor—or field effect transistor, to give the microscopic device found in all your electronics its proper name—is just a…
