A transdisciplinary Northwestern University research team has developed a revolutionary transistor that is expected be ideal for lightweight, flexible, high-performance bioelectronics. The ...

A new type of transistor could bring about a bevy of innovative electronic applications, ranging from wearables to implants to IoT devices, due to the tiny amount of power it uses. Developed by ...

The team’s wooden transistor has a few advantages that might help it find eventual applications. Being biodegradable could help reduce the e-waste problem, and the large conductive channels could let ...

On a physical level, a transistor’s internal functioning is very complex, but, in practice, using it in some simple experiments is quite easy and affordable for everyone. A transistor allows to create ...

A revolution is coming in flexible electronic technologies as cheaper, more flexible, organic transistors replace expensive, rigid, silicone-based semiconductors, but not enough is known about how ...

A team of engineers has developed a transistor made from linen thread, enabling them to create electronic devices made entirely of thin threads that could be woven into fabric, worn on the skin, or ...

Transistors have long served as the building blocks of microelectronics. More recently, microchip lasers have been emerging as cornerstones of light-based circuitry, or photonics. Now, engineers have ...

Researchers have discovered that the transistor, long the star of electronics, has a yet-untapped talent–emitting light. With that newfound capability, the transistor could also become a stellar ...

The pink glow you see above is coming from the world’s smallest plasma transistor, an unfathomably miniscule device 100 times smaller than the width of a human hair. It’s not just tiny, it’s tough, ...

October of 1951 was a busy time for the workers at Western Electric’s Allentown plant. According to the Electronicle, the plant’s monthly newsletter, the bowling club began its winter season with 700 ...
