The first transistor was about half an inch high. That's mammoth by today's standards, when 7 million transistors can fit on a single computer chip. It was nevertheless an amazing piece of technology.

Scientists have created an n-channel transistor using diamond for the first time, potentially leading to faster components that can work in extreme conditions. When you purchase through links on our ...

The most exciting new development in electronics is the transistor, a tiny, simple device that can do the work of most vacuum tubes. Transistors are generally mounted in plastic or metal for easy ...

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 ...

One of the great successes of 20th-century physics was the quantum mechanical description of solids. This allowed scientists to understand for the first time how and why certain materials conduct ...

Engineers are starting to build hardware that does not just run artificial intelligence, it behaves like a primitive form of it. Instead of long chains of conventional transistors, researchers are ...

What Is A Single Electron Transistor? A single electron transistor (SET) is a transistor that operates on the principles of quantum mechanics and utilises the behaviour of single electrons. It differs ...

(Nanowerk News) An international team of researchers from Queen Mary University of London, the University of Oxford, Lancaster University, and the University of Waterloo have developed a new ...
