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 off ...

Duke engineers show how a common device architecture used to test 2D transistors overstates their performance prospects in real-world devices.

Advances in materials and architecture could lead to silicon-free chip manufacturing thanks to a new type of transistor.

Researchers have developed the first transistor made of wood. Their study paves the way for further development of wood-based electronics and control of electronic plants. Researchers at Linköping ...

Many things about diamonds seem eternal, including the many engineering problems related to making them work as a silicon ...

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 ...

Researchers from Linköping University in Sweden made a groundbreaking development: they created a functional transistor out of wood. This new transistor could pave the way for much more sustainable ...

The production of transistors is a complex process and it needs a specialized environment (high temperature) and sophisticated equipment (capable of producing a high vacuum). To make the process of ...

The world's smallest transistor, made from a mere six atoms of carbon suspended between two gold electrodes, has been created by scientists from Yale University and South Korea. Although transistors, ...

(For this breakthrough, the trio would share the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics.) Following the point-contact transistor, in 1948 Shockley debuted the junction transistor, a more robust transistor made ...
