Like the DEC PDP-8, this is a 12-bit machine, but instead of the diode-transistor logic of the DEC, the substantially smaller Q2 uses a simple NMOS approach.

Specifically, the research program will explore three critical areas in materials science and device design for the DRAM community: the transistor to be used in the periphery of the memory chip, the ...

Ever wondered how a simple transistor can power an entire computer and run complex code? Discover the amazing world of transistors and how they make the digital world function. This video takes ...

Shrinking silicon transistors have reached their physical limits, but a team from the University of Tokyo is rewriting the rules. They've created a cutting-edge transistor using gallium-doped ...

They were the first company to produce silicon transistors -- and consequently the first company to produce a truly consistent mass-produced transistor.

For any given processor it’s generally easy to find a statistic on the number of transistors used to construct it, with the famous Intel 8086 CPU generally said to contain 29,000 transistors.… ...

Analysts and researchers call the transistor the most important invention of the 20th century on the event of its 60th birthday.
