A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...

While theoretically the ideal semiconductor, diamond has not yet become mainstream in transistors and other components.

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 ...

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 ...

Transistors provide this isolation, but the microscopic physics of nonlinear optical processes and stimulated emission typically does not. Ideally, we want a device with separate input and output ...

Also called a "bipolar junction transistor" (BJT), it is one of two major transistor categories; the other is "field-effect transistor" (FET). Although the first transistor was bipolar and the ...

For example, you can insert a resistor, a capacitor, an inductor, a diode, or a transistor and get a readout of which pin is which. It seems like magic, but [Andreas Spiess] did the research on ...

This “transistor moment” was a game changer. Suddenly, electricity could be used for computing… a task so complex that it had ...

If you ever work with a circuit that controls a decent amount of current, you will often encounter a FET – a Field-Effect Transistor. Whether you want to control a couple of powerful LEDs ...

What is a Single-Electron Transistor? A single-electron transistor (SET) is a nanoscale electronic device that allows the precise control of individual electrons. Unlike conventional transistors that ...

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.

In 1958, the first integrated circuit flip-flop was built using two transistors at Texas Instruments. The chips of today contain more than 1 billion transistors. The memory that could once support an ...
