In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

Researchers at Peking University have built a transistor they say is the world’s smallest and most energy-efficient, ...

Researchers have developed the first transistor made of wood. Their study paves the way for further development of wood-based electronics and control of electronic plants. Researchers at Linköping ...

Why silk is being used for bio-compatible transistors. How the silk is transformed to develop the transistor function. The two types of operation provided by the silk-based transistor. Silicon and ...

Forward-looking: The billions of transistors hidden within a single CPU are manufactured to execute just one specific function. A team of Viennese scientists, however, aims to introduce ...

Advances in materials and architecture could lead to silicon-free chip manufacturing thanks to a new type of transistor.

What Is A Semiconductor Gate? The gate electrode is a thin film of a conductive material deposited on top of an insulator layer in a transistor. The gate sits above a channel formed in the main body ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Computing systems have made impressive progress, but they still fall short when compared to the human brain’s energy efficiency and adaptability. Biological neurons handle complex ...
