A working sandwich transistor would require that electricity travel straight across a crystal instead of around the surface. But Bardeen 's theory about how the point-contact transistor worked ...

Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or ...

The first announcement of the invention of the transistor met with almost no fanfare. The integrated circuit was originally thought to be useful only in military applications. The microprocessor's ...

The transistor’s story is one of innovation and immigration Mohamed Atalla of Egypt and Dawon Kahng of Korea are responsible for the technology that helped harness the transistor’s power.

When you think of Sony, you probably think of a technology company that’s been around forever. However, as [Asianometry] points out, it really formed in the tough years after World War II. Th… ...

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 ...

At the December 2021 IEDM conference (a conference for people who design advanced semiconductors), IBM announced it was turning transistors on their heads to keep Moore’s Law scaling alive.

While many research efforts are underway to develop active devices that can function in the challenging terahertz spectrum, ...

Eyeing solutions to our e-waste problem, engineers have developed the world's first fully recyclable printed electronics, demonstrated in a transistor that can be reduced to its original building ...
