The heat transistor has an 'off' and an 'on' state. In the 'off' state an energy of e 2 /2 C is needed to add an electron to the island or to take one away (where e is the charge on the electron ...

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 ...

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 ...
