Cutting edge transistors for semiconductors of the future

Transistors that can change properties are important elements in the development of tomorrow's semiconductors. With standard transistors approaching the limit for how small they can be, having more functions on the same number of units becomes increasingly important in enabling the development of small, energy-efficient circuits for improved memory and more powerful computers. Researchers have shown how to create new configurable transistors and exert control on a new, more precise level.
