Artificial intelligence faces an energy crisis stemming from a physical traffic jam inside modern computer chips. Processors ...

Wearable tech is getting flexible. A new transistor can be stretched to twice its length without losing conductivity. This makes it ideal for use in small devices worn on the body, such as sensors ...

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 a new study published in Physical Review Letters, the team describes using a specially developed single-spin quantum ...

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 . . .

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 ...

The invention of the transistor in December 1947 is one of the hallmark moments in humanity’s technological history, right up there with Maxwell’s equations and Alessandro Volta’s battery. These ...

Conventional silicon-based electronics are rapidly approaching a fundamental barrier. Below about five nanometers, quantum effects make their behavior unpredictable. That’s led to research into ...

The ever-shrinking features of transistors etched in silicon have always required pushing the cutting edge of manufacturing technology. The discovery of atomically thin materials like graphene and ...
