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 ...

When you think of Sony, you probably think of a technology company that’s been around forever. However, as [Asianometry] points out, it really formed in the tough years after World War II.

As it turns out, the answer is not 42, it’s 42.3 — thousand. That’s how many discrete transistors spread across the 30 m 2 room housing this massive computation machine. [James Newman’s ...

It was late afternoon at a conference for the Institute of Radio Engineers. Many people giving talks had complained about the current germanium transistors -- they had a bad habit of not working ...

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.

Advances in materials and architecture could lead to silicon-free chip manufacturing thanks to a new type of transistor.

A transistor that operates with photons rather than electrons is often heralded as the next step in information processing, but optical technology must first prove itself to be a viable solution ...

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.

A RIKEN study shows that squeezing the right amount of potassium ions between the atomic layers of molybdenum disulfide can ...

Researchers in China have developed a 2D transistor that may boost processor speeds and reduce power consumption.

My first battery-powered radio — a ten-transistor Realtone — came from my Aunt Ina when I was about seven. I used to think I was ten, but the songs from 1973 would be wrong: I distinctly remember ...
