This magnetic transistor is fashioned out of indium antimonide (InSb, pictured above), a narrow-gap semiconductor that isn't usually associated with computer chips. The KIST researchers sandwiched ...

Now, a type of transistor ... more impressively, the magnetic switches “can be handled like software”, he says, by simply flipping the field to enable or disable a circuit.

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have demonstrated that a single, standard silicon ... the need for complicated multi-transistor circuits or emerging materials that ...
