Transistors are tiny components that act like switches and amplifiers, driving the logic behind every digital device. In this ...

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

75 years ago this month, research scientists working at Bell Labs first created, then unveiled to the world a new device—the point contact transistor. Some call it the greatest invention of the 20th ...

We all know, at least intellectually, that our computers are all built with lots of tiny transistors. But beyond that it’s a little hard to describe. They’re printed on a silicon wafer somehow, and ...

I attended an AI conference in Seattle and participated in the 2025 IEDM and its celebration of the 100th anniversary of the Field Effect Transistor.

The future began 75 years ago this week with the invention of something small that’s considered the most manufactured item in human history. Odds are, you are surrounded by them right now. The ...

Atomic-scale imperfections in graphene transistors generate unique wireless fingerprints that cannot be copied or predicted, ...

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.

Tellurium nanowire transistors switch between boosting and suppressing their light response through voltage alone, enabling ...

Diamond color centers are a well researched field, but using them at scale as qubits was out of reach until recently. Their ...

While two-dimensional art makes sense on paper, it sort of falls apart in the real world, which is 3D all the way. But chip ...
