Solid-state transistors, in turn, enabled technologies like the transistor radio, which took over a field once dominated by technologies like the cat's-whisker detector. Indeed, by the 1950s, ...

75 years ago this month, research scientists working at Bell Labs first created, then unveiled to the world a new device—the point contact transistor. Some call it the greatest invention of the 20th ...

This video explains how transistors work and how they are used to switch and amplify electrical signals in electronic circuits. Transistors are fundamental to all modern digital and analog systems.

It’s the mid 1990’s and I am a design engineer for a company that designs and manufactures custom measurement systems and high power electronics. Our customers range from experimental fusion reactor ...

On a physical level, a transistor’s internal functioning is very complex, but, in practice, using it in some simple experiments is quite easy and affordable for everyone. A transistor allows to create ...

Complementary Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (CMOS) technology is a vital part of modern electronics, used in designing and manufacturing integrated circuits (ICs) that power many digital devices. CMOS ...

IBM on Monday will unveil what it says is the world's tiniest working transistor. Big Blue's IBM Research group will announce the new transistor at the International Electron Devices Meeting (IEDM) in ...

(Nanowerk News) A research team consisting of NIMS and the Tokyo University of Science has developed the fastest electric double layer transistor using a highly ion conductive ceramic thin film and a ...
