True to Moore’s Law, the number of transistors on a microchip has doubled every year since the 1960s. But this trajectory is predicted to soon plateau because silicon — the backbone of modern transistors — loses its electrical properties once devices made from this material dip below a certain size.

Scientists Unveil Least Costly Carbon Capture System to Date
PNNL scientists carve a path to profit from carbon capture through carbon upcycling, unlock crucial step in decarbonization and advancing toward net zero emissions.
U Researcher to Lead Study of Clouds in Cleanest Air on Earth
The Southern Ocean is a remote region of the world that holds significant influence over the Earth’s climate.
High Temperatures Boost Biodiversity in Arctic and Sub-Arctic Seas
A new study by the Nord University (Norway) in which the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) in Barcelona has participated has confirmed that the high temperatures in the Arctic and sub-Arctic seas -especially affected by global warming- are promoting the settlement in these waters of species that previously lived in warmer areas located further south.
The Key to Weathering Rapid Sea-Level Rise May Lie in a Massachusetts Salt Marsh
A team of researchers led by Brian Yellen, research professor of earth, geographic, and climate sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, recently announced in the Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface that salt marshes, critical habitats threatened by rapid sea-level rise, may in fact thrive despite higher water levels.
