Silicon, the semiconductor material used to make most of modern electronics, is reaching its limit as increasingly faster computing and smaller electronic devices are being developed. Now, as an alternative, researchers have created the world’s first functional semiconductor made from graphene, a single sheet of carbon atoms held together by the strongest bonds known. Researchers …
Apple has announced its most advanced computer chipsets ever, claiming they are the first ever personal computer chips built using a 3nm process – one-upping the announcement last week of Qualcomm’s 4nm chips for Windows computers. The Apple M3, M3 Pro, and M3 Max chipsets were launched alongside a new iMac desktop computer and MacBook …
