Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

The history of the transistor and similar types. How transistors made an impact on the world. How grudges eventually subside. Transistors are simple electronic devices that boost or switch electrical ...

The ever-shrinking features of transistors etched in silicon have always required pushing the cutting edge of manufacturing technology. The discovery of atomically thin materials like graphene and ...

LONDON — Researchers from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) have reported the fabrication of an optical transistor from a single molecule. By focusing a laser beam on a single ...

The world's smallest transistor, made from a mere six atoms of carbon suspended between two gold electrodes, has been created by scientists from Yale University and South Korea. Although transistors, ...

Electrical engineers created a gallium oxide-based transistor that can handle more than 8,000 volts. The transistor could lead to smaller and more efficient electronic systems that control and convert ...

Cell phones are a big deal, but to some of us the transistor was an even bigger deal. I was disobeying my parents staying up ...

(For this breakthrough, the trio would share the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics.) Following the point-contact transistor, in 1948 Shockley debuted the junction transistor, a more robust transistor made ...

Whenever I read about cutting-edge transistors, I appreciate that there's people who enjoy these kind of challenges. Working with things that don't *want* to act predictably sounds like hell to me.
