Researchers from Germany, Japan and the United States have managed to create a tiny, reliable transistor assembled from a single molecule and a dozen additional atoms. The transistor reportedly ...

Seeking to keep Moore's Law on pace, researchers have developed a repeatable technique for assembling a single-atom version of the transistor--the building block of semiconductors and computers.

CamSemi announced recent advances in the company's bipolar transistor (BJT) drive scheme and the first of a new generation of Primary Side Sensing (PSS) controllers to exploit these developments. The ...

Need to switch something on or off using a microcontroller? Using a transistor is one of the best ways to do this, but how exactly do you design properly for transistor switching? [Ben Krasnow] put ...

Transistors made of plastic can be controlled with great precision, according to a new article. Transistors made of plastic can be controlled with great precision, according to an article in PNAS by ...

In recent years, engineers have begun to design and test thermal transistors with some success. Their goal is to exercise the same control over heat that they already have over electric current–the ...

Control of heat flow is crucial for thermal logic devices and thermal management, with theoretical exploration preceding limited experimental progress in actively controlling heat flow. The device ...

This year, several companies are expected to bring 600/650 V Gallium Nitride (GaN) power transistors to market. Almost all will be normally-on (depletion mode) transistors connected in a cascode ...

It sounds like it could be cheaper and more energy efficient than transistors. More on Ovonic quantum control, potential transistor replacement. The all thin-film device is said to have significant ...

The big picture: Researchers from the University of California have developed a first-of-its-kind, solid-state thermal transistor that could one day be used to better control heat in electronic ...

A new electrically controlled MXene membrane tunes ion separation on demand, opening doors to more efficient water treatment, drug delivery and rare earth mining. The membranes are made of stacks of ...

With a collector-emitter voltage of 60 V, the ZX5T851Z (npn) and ZX5T951Z (pnp) bipolar transistors can handle the voltage demands of medium-power motor drive circuits. Features of the SOT89-packaged ...
