Discovery: Crunching data on conventional computers requires electrons. But scientists have been working toward biological computers that can store, retrieve and process data using chemical reactions. To that end, Jerome Bonnet, a postdoctoral scholar in bioengineering at Stanford University, and his colleagues report today in the journal Science building a transistor out of DNA and RNA.
Here we will provide you a quick brief about the Kirin 9000 SoC and has a total of 15.3 billion transistors, which is 30% more than Apple's A14 Bionic chipset that comes in the latest Apple iPhone 12 series.
A new two-dimensional material, Tellurene, could realise the hopes for higher speed transistors for faster computing.
In the semiconductor industry, there is currently one main strategy for improving the speed and efficiency of devices: scale down the device dimensions in order to fit more transistors onto a computer chip, in accordance with Moore's law. However, the number of transistors on a computer chip cannot exponentially increase forever, and this is motivating researchers to look for other ways to improve semiconductor technologies.
