A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...

While it is hard to imagine today, securing a license to produce transistors was difficult in the early days. What’s worse is, even with the license, it was not feasible to use the crude devices ...

Many people giving talks had complained about the current germanium transistors -- they had a bad habit of not working at high temperatures. Silicon, since it's right above germanium on the ...

There was no doubt about it, point-contact transistors were fidgety. The transistors being made by Bell just didn't work the same way twice, and on top of that, they were noisy. While one lab at ...

It says something about your career at a company that makes hundreds of trillions of transistors every day when your nickname ...

Sony launched the world's first non-projection, fully transistorized television, the TV8-301, in May 1960, about six years ...

For example, you can insert a resistor, a capacitor, an inductor, a diode, or a transistor and get a readout of which pin is which. It seems like magic, but [Andreas Spiess] did the research on ...

Transistors provide this isolation, but the microscopic physics of nonlinear optical processes and stimulated emission typically does not. Ideally, we want a device with separate input and output ...

Over half a century ago, Gordon Moore, co-founder of Intel, postulated that the number of transistors in a circuit would double every 18 months. In the computer world, this assertion has become ...

For the longest time, there's been a golden rule in technology, often shorthanded as Moore's Law: Every year, transistors get smaller, and devices get faster and more capable as a result.

Scientists from the University of Glasgow have made a major breakthrough that could lead to a new generation of powerful and ...

Glasgow University researchers have led work that could lead to a new generation of diamond-based transistors.
