Crystal-Powered Transistor Could Replace Silicon and Supercharge AI

In a potential turning point for microelectronics, scientists in Tokyo have crafted a powerful new transistor that ditches silicon in favor of a crystalline material called gallium-doped indium oxide. Engineered with a gate-all-around design—where the transistor’s control gate wraps completely around the current channel—this tiny device achieves remarkable electron mobility and long-term stability. The result? [...]
