A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

The production of transistors is a complex process and it needs a specialized environment (high temperature) and sophisticated equipment (capable of producing a high vacuum). To make the process of ...

Researchers from Linköping University in Sweden made a groundbreaking development: they created a functional transistor out of wood. This new transistor could pave the way for much more sustainable ...

Transistors, invented almost one hundred years ago, are considered by some to be an invention just as important to humanity as the telephone, the light bulb or the bicycle. Today, they are a crucial ...

University of Illinois researchers have muscled aside IBM and other electronics industry giants to create the fastest transistor yet, and they aren't planning to stop there. The UI transistor has a ...

A hybrid Cessna 337 taxied down a Southern California runway and lifted into the air. The plane, a type commonly used as an air taxi between islands, had a traditional gas-powered motor in the nose ...

Researchers from ETH Zurich have recently managed to create an optical transistor from a single molecule in what is yet another important achievement on the road to quantum computing. Quantum ...

Downscaling of electronic devices, such as transistors, has reached a plateau, posing challenges for semiconductor fabrication. However, a research team led by materials scientists recently discovered ...

Bell Labs has created a tiny new transistor and discovered a way to whip it up in a laboratory beaker. On Thursday, the research arm of Lucent Technologies unveiled a new organic transistor--made from ...
