Researchers showed that creating computer chips made out of honey is possible. Researchers believe that neuromorphic computer chips can be made more unique and more biodegradable in the future.

What is silicon, and why are computer chips made from it? Silicon is the 14th element on the Periodic Table -- but, from concrete to microchips to alien life, it has the capacity to be so much more.

The number of transistors on a computer chip doubles about every 18 months. This observation, known as Moore’s law, is a nightmare for semiconductor engineers, who are tasked with building chips ...

We’re one step closer to biodegradable gadgets. These computer chips are made almost entirely out of wood. Scientists at the University of Wisconsin, ...

U.S. and Chinese researchers have developed semiconductor chips that are nearly entirely made out of wood-derived material. Aside from being biodegradable, the chips could be produced for only a ...

Engineers are developing a technique for mass producing computer chips made from the same material found in pencils. Experts believe that graphene -- the sheet-like form of carbon found in ...

This article is part of the On Tech newsletter. You can sign up here to receive it weekdays. Most people need toilet paper and computer chips every day, and yet we rarely think about either of ...

A new proof-of-concept DNA-infused computer chip could help us train future AI models even more efficiently.

U.S. and Chinese researchers have developed semiconductor chips that are nearly entirely made out of wood-derived material. Aside from being biodegradable, the chips could be produced for only a ...

Consider a computer chip placed inside a milk carton, replacing a printed expiration date with a sensor that detects chemical signs of spoilage.

Atkinson and people whom I spoke to in the computer chip industry say that there are important ways that computer chips are not like iPhones, and that it would be helpful if more were made on U.S ...
