This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...

Bell Laboratories, one of the world’s largest industrial laboratories and now part of Lucent Technologies, was originally the research and development arm of the giant telephone company American ...

There was no doubt about it, point-contact transistors were fidgety. The transistors being made by Bell just didn't work the same way twice, and on top of that, they were noisy. While one lab at Bell ...

Intel’s manufacturing woes have been widely reported, but the company has a secret weapon to solve them: A new alliance with IBM. That company’s recent announcement of the world’s first two-nanometer ...

Modern life runs on light. Fiber-optic cables move data across continents, lasers guide surgeries, and photons sit at the heart of quantum technologies. Yet one long-standing goal has remained elusive ...

An SCR topology transmogrifies into BJT two-wire precision current source with a self-resetting fault-current limiter.

For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is running into hard physical limits. A new approach from MIT aims to sidestep ...

[Joe Wingbermuehle] has an interest in computers-of-old, and some past experience of building computers on perfboard from discrete transistors, so this next project, Q2, is a complete implementation ...

One of the lost pleasures of our modern world is the experience of going shopping at a grocery store, a mall, or a drugstore, and finding this month’s electronics magazine festooned with projects that ...

Transistor's confusing, artful and ultimately dazzling - and it's wrapped around a combat system that rewards experimentation. Transistor isn't the first game to put its soul into its sword, but it is ...
