A new approach could help make future AI chips smaller and more energy-efficient. A KAIST-led research team has used a single ...

The silicon carbide transistor is designed to avoid low controllability and current leakage, which typically become problems at high temperatures.

In this lesson, students search for transistor-based devices at school. They use the results of their search to explain the significance of the transistor in their lives. A transistor is a tiny device ...

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 . . .

USC-led SWIFT project aims to reinvent the transistor using waves of magnetism, potentially slashing energy use and cooling costs, while helping GPS resist jamming ...

Imagine your world without portable computers, GPS, or the internet. Does it make your palms a little sweaty? Would you be ...

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 ...

On Dec. 16, 1947, the future began with the invention of the transistor. A lab notebook indicates that researchers at Bell Telephone Laboratories first got the thing to work on this day 75 years ago.

Taiwanese researchers have developed a new atomically thin “primer coat” for molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂) ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Shockley had submitted the patent application for a "three-electrode circuit element ...

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has ...
