Sentences with phrase «transistors on computer chips»

In 1965, Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, famously observed that the number of transistors on computer chips were doubling every 2 years.

The rapid fall in sequencing prices may give genomics an equivalent of Moore's Law, which describes how the number of transistors on computer chips doubles every 18 months, steadily driving down the cost of computing power.

The researchers found that the wave packets could combine even if their orbits were as large as the transistors on a computer chip (Physical Review Letters, vol 75, p 1252).

Not exact matches

Unlike traditional computers, in which a silicon chip's transistors are either turned on or off, a qubit can be both at the same time.

Quantum computing relies on particles called quantum bits, or qubits, to process data, unlike modern computers that rely on transistors packed into conventional silicon chips.

It was the CSR program that earlier this year unveiled a breakthrough computer chip based on 5 nanometer architecture with the smallest transistors ever created.

«Our design incorporates conventional silicon transistor switches to «turn on» operations between qubits in a vast two - dimensional array, using a grid - based «word» and «bit» select protocol similar to that used to select bits in a conventional computer memory chip,» he added.

While computer chips are typically made of bulky carbon compounds, scientists at the Center for Sustainable Materials Chemistry at Oregon State University are looking to replace these bulky compounds with metal oxides, which would allow more transistors to fit on a chip.

Almost all modern gadgets — computers, cellphones, games consoles, cars, refrigerators, ovens — contain memory chips based on the transistor, whose operation relies on the quantum mechanics of semiconductors.

The computer industry is exploring technologies that in essence are drop - in replacements for transistors with improved characteristics: different designs such as the fin FET, a 3 - D rather than a flat configuration on a computer chip, Aidun said.

Many of today's technologies (i.e. solid state lighting, transistors in computer chips, and batteries in cell phones) rely simply on the charge of the electron and how it moves through the material.
