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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

In this lesson, students search for transistor-based devices at school. They use the results of their search to explain the significance of the transistor in their lives. A transistor is a tiny ...

It says something about your career at a company that makes hundreds of trillions of transistors every day when your nickname is “Mr. Transistor.” That’s what colleagues often call Tahir Ghani, a ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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

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

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 ...
