Today's transistors can switch millions or even billions of times per second, enabling the astonishing speeds of modern processors. Why Silicon?

The transistor laser invented by scientists at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign has now been found to possess fundamental non-linear characteristics that are new to a transistor and ...

In the hacker and DIY community, there are people who have exceptional knowledge and fantastic tools. These people are able to do what others could only dream about, and that others can only browse… ...

A transistor made using two atomically thin materials sets size record A key transistor component is made from the edge of a sheet of graphene.

The first commercial product to use transistors was the hearing aid, made in 1952. Fortune magazine declared 1953 the “Year of the Transistor,” and, by 1954, Texas Instruments had introduced ...

Engineers are unveiling an upgrade to the transistor laser that could be used to boost computer processor speeds - the formation of two stable energy states and the ability to switch between them ...

It can do AND or OR logic in a single transistor, switch states using light.

Bell began to license the use of transistors (for a royalty) and offered courses on transistor technology, helping spread the word throughout the industry.

As a result, their device could rapidly and efficiently switch between two possible logic states – making for an ideal optical transistor. Faster and less power Compared with the latest electrical ...
