In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

As computing demands grow, driven by artificial intelligence and the internet of things, the need for energy-efficient electronics becomes critical. At the heart of this evolution are transistors, the ...

Atomic-scale imperfections in graphene transistors generate unique wireless fingerprints that cannot be copied or predicted, ...

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 ...

Forward-looking: The billions of transistors hidden within a single CPU are manufactured to execute just one specific function. A team of Viennese scientists, however, aims to introduce ...

For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is ...

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Put the inventor of the light-emitting diode and the maker of the world's fastest transistor together in a research laboratory and what kinds of bright ideas might surface? One ...

As you probably know, processors – and most other digital technology – are made up of transistors. The simplest way to think of a transistor is as a controllable switch with three pins. When the gate ...

What Is A Semiconductor Gate? The gate electrode is a thin film of a conductive material deposited on top of an insulator layer in a transistor. The gate sits above a channel formed in the main body ...

Researchers have developed a method of 'wiring up' graphene nanoribbons (GNRs), a class of one-dimensional materials that are of interest in the scaling of microelectronic devices. Using a ...
