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 ...

If you open up the perennial favourite electronics textbook The Art Of Electronics and turn to the section on transistors, you will see a little cartoon. A transistor is shown as a room in which ...

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 ...

It is the fastest, most efficient transistor ever,” a Peking University statement claims. That is a confidence boost for a ...

A team of researchers from Peking University claims to have developed a non-silicon transistor that is faster and more ...

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.

Making a Transistor Radio, by [George Dobbs, G3RJV], was a part of the long-running series of Ladybird books that educated, entertained, and enthralled mid-20th-century British kids, and its ...

Researchers at the University of Surrey unveil a transistor that could slash display screen costs, boost brightness, and ...

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 ...

Tin-halide perovskites, a class of tin-based materials with a characteristic crystal structure that resembles that of the ...

A handheld AM or FM radio. All handheld radios, as well as desktop radios, use transistors, both discrete as well as contained in chips. The transistor radio was one of the first consumer devices ...

Quantum mechanics, first considered in the early 1900’s, and formalized by 1925, opened a fundamentally new view for western physics.  The world is whole, not a collection of parts. The ...
