The heat transistor consists of a small copper island connected to four finger-shaped aluminium electrodes through tiny junctions ().Each junction contains a thin insulating oxide layer that acts ...

A new type of transistor can dissipate almost zero heat — slashing energy usage in future quantum computers by up to 1,000 times and paving the way for massively scaled-up machines. The ...

Since a transistor only works because it has a specific, limited amount of electrons running around, high heat could stop a transistor from working altogether. While still working at Bell Labs in ...

One promising approach involves the use of polycrystalline diamond as a heat sink for GaN-based transistors. A study demonstrated a new fabrication method that combines a thin monocrystalline ...
