Nearly 20 years ago, we demonstrated an innovate bottom-up approach to creating Gate-All-Around (GAA) transistor architectures in next-generation devices. This month, Apple announced the iPhone 18, with an integrated TSMC’s 2nm GAAFET A20 chip!

BREAKING NEWS
The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences has decided to award the 2025 #NobelPrize in Chemistry to Susumu Kitagawa, Richard Robson and Omar M. Yaghi “for the development of metal–organic frameworks.”

We are thrilled to announce that Professor Omar Yaghi was awarded the 2025 Nobel Prize in Chemistry today! Yaghi first synthesized a new class of porous materials that holds enormous promise for many applications. @UCBerkeley @NobelPrize bit.ly/48VwG7P

🏅 Former Berkeley Lab senior scientist John Clarke has been awarded the 2025 @NobelPrize in Physics for the discovery of macroscopic quantum tunneling in an electric circuit. His work paved the way for quantum computing and sensing. newscenter.lbl.gov/2025/10/07/for…

DYK that nearly 20 years ago, Berkeley Lab scientists showed a novel way to build advanced transistors decades before similar structures reached smartphones? @UCBerkeley newscenter.lbl.gov/2025/09/22/ear…

@yanggroupucb at the @UCBerkeley was among the first to use @light_con's #HARPIA-LIGHT tabletop #spectroscopy #system in their #ultrafast research.

As the microelectronics industry moves to adopt gate-all-around transistor designs in next-generation smartphones, our groundbreaking research demonstrated an innovative approach to creating these advanced structures nearly 20 years ago. newscenter.lbl.gov/2025/05/06/com…

The “gate-all-around” design enhances control over the transistor channel, leading to better performance and lower power consumption. Our early bottom-up approach showed the potential of this geometry using chemical synthesis to achieve these complex structures.
