The ability to make a very miniature on/off switch changed the world. These tiny switches, known as transistors, make up the basis of all modern computing—they drive your cell phones, your bank ...

Shrinking silicon transistors have reached their physical limits, but a team from the University of Tokyo is rewriting the rules. They've created a cutting-edge transistor using gallium-doped indium ...

This project implements a simple AND logic gate using a single 2N3904 NPN transistor, a 5 mm LED, a CR2032 coin cell, and a few resistors. When both inputs are driven HIGH (connected through input ...

The growing energy use of AI has gotten a lot of people working on ways to make it less power hungry. One option is to develop processors that are a better match to the sort of computational needs of ...

Pat gelsinger, boss of Intel, a chipmaker, loves to brag that his firm is leading the charge in semiconductor technology by entering the “angstrom era”. The angstrom, named in honour of Anders Jonas ...

Inside a sterile, cavernous building in the Dutch city of Eindhoven, the latest monster dreamed up by asml, a maker of chipmaking gear, is quietly humming away. Weighing 150 tonnes and the size of a ...

A bilayer organic transistor with off-on-off current output that can be used to make compact and efficient artificial spiking neurons. The field of wearable/implantable healthcare technology continues ...

In the early days, PNP bipolar transistors were common, but the bulk of circuits you see today use NPN transistors. As [Aaron Danner] points out, many people think PNP transistors are “backward” but ...

Scientists have created an n-channel transistor using diamond for the first time, potentially leading to faster components that can work in extreme conditions. When you purchase through links on our ...

Scientists made a single-molecule transistor using quantum interference to control electron flow. This new design offers high on/off ratio and stability, potentially leading to smaller, faster, and ...
