silicon chip

Nexperia was forced to sell its silicon chip plant in Newport, Wales after MPs and ministers expressed national security concerns.

But the real action is happening at nanoscale: Proteins in solution combine with chemical molecules held in minuscule wells in custom silicon chips that are like microscopic muffin tins.

Broomfield, Colorado—The core of this quantum computer looks familiar enough: a silicon chip the size of a stamp.

His discovery opened the door to previously unimaginable improvement in data capacity, with lower costs and higher speeds all using tiny silicon chips.

"Qubits based on hole spins not only leverage the tried-and-tested fabrication of silicon chips, they are also highly scalable and have proven to be fast and robust in experiments."
