Dr Mizuta and Dr Hasegawa are therefore using the novel transistors to try to make the world's first non-volatile processor chip.

Mizuta博士和Hasegawa博士因此都在使用新型的晶体管，力图制造出世界上第一个非易失性处理器芯片。

Instead of using transistors made from pure silicon, those employed by these chips are made from silicon carbide, which is more robust.

这些芯片使用的晶体管由更坚固的碳化硅而非纯硅制成。

In classical computers, bits are generated using transistors.

在经典计算机中， 位是使用晶体管生成的。

Today, computers use transistors that are smaller than 50 nanometers in size – for reference, a sheet of paper is roughly 100,000 nanometers thick.

如今，计算机里晶体管的尺寸小于 50 纳米对比起来，一张纸的厚度约为 100,000 纳米。

Now it is actually possible to use transistors for more than just turning electrical current on and off, and to allow for different levels of current.

现在实际上可以将晶体管用于不仅仅是打开和关闭电流，还可以允许不同级别的电流。
