Brooklyn baroque psych-pop vets The Ladybug Transistor will celebrate the 25th anniversary of their excellent third album, The Albemarle Sound, with a deluxe reissue and tour dates in December. The ...

The transistor is the unsung hero of modern life — powering everything from smartphones to satellites. But how did it begin?

We all know that it’s easy to get caught out by fake electronic components these days, with everything from microcontrollers to specialized ASICs being fair game. More recently, retro components that ...

On Oct. 3, 1950, three scientists at Bell Labs in New Jersey received a U.S. patent for what would become one of the most important inventions of the 20th century — the transistor. John Bardeen, ...

At Peking University, a group of Chinese scientists may have just turned the computing industry up on its head. With a slender sheet of lab-grown bismuth and an architecture unlike anything inside ...

Associate Professor Mario Lanza and his team demonstrated a groundbreaking silicon transistor that mimics neural and synaptic behaviours, marking a significant breakthrough in neuromorphic computing.

Scientists have created an n-channel transistor using diamond for the first time, potentially leading to faster components that can work in extreme conditions. When you purchase through links on our ...

In a nutshell: Back in 2021, a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology made waves by creating an entirely new type of ferroelectric material. Now, those same researchers have one-upped ...

The history of the transistor and similar types. How transistors made an impact on the world. How grudges eventually subside. Transistors are simple electronic devices that boost or switch electrical ...

Building things in a lab is easy, at least when compared to scaling up for mass production. That’s why there are so many articles about fusion being right around the corner, or battery technology that ...

A Planet Analog article, “2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor?” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old transistor and how it’s commonly used, and if any uncommon uses might exist.

Previous similar devices could only operate at cryogenic temperatures. Researchers developed a transistor that simultaneously processes and stores information like the human brain. The transistor goes ...
