Integrated circuits are the brains behind modern electronic devices like computers or smart phones. Traditionally, these ...

An integrated circuit (IC), also known as a microchip or chip, is a miniaturized electronic circuit consisting of transistors, resistors, capacitors, and other components fabricated onto a single ...

The end of the earnings season is always a good time to take a step back and see who shined (and who not so much). Let’s take ...

Microchips and integrated circuits are usually treated as black boxes; a signal goes in, and a signal goes out, and everything between those two events can be predicted and accurately modeled from a ...

Practically every electronic device you own has something in common: they contain semiconductors, which are also known as microchips. Microchips are miniaturized integrated circuits, each designed to ...

At a small local chapter meeting of a professional society, Gordon Moore's talk laid out the rudiments of what would become ...

More than 5 million investors vied for allotments in the chipmaker’s share offering, which aims to raise US$594 million.

One of the reasons why robots and artificial intelligence programs — even very sophisticated ones — do not qualify as living things is because they lack the capacity for self-repair. Fry a machine's ...

The coming AI revolution faces a big hurdle: today’s microchips. It’s one thing to get a bunch of transistors on an integrated circuit to crunch numbers, even very large ones. But what the brain does ...
