Ferroelectric Helps Break Transistor Limits

news.ycombinator.com Katherine Bourzac 2025-12-22 03:39:50

Research published in Science suggests that negative capacitance helps sidestep a physical limit that typically enforces trade-offs between how well a transistor performs in the “on” state versus how well it does in the “off” state. The researchers behind the project say this shows that n

Like many, I struggle to keep my mind stationed in the present and often turn to meditation apps for assistance. Yet, what has helped me practice mindfulness the most came in the form of an unexpected app -- not one for breathing exercises or mental health, but one for identifying birds.
