If you ever work with a circuit that controls a decent amount of current, you will often encounter a FET – a Field-Effect Transistor. Whether you want to control a couple of powerful LEDs, switch a ...

The 2N2222 and BC549 transistors are two old components that are still universally used in the vast majority of electrical circuits today. Their applications include amplifiers, filters, impedance ...

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 ...

A Planet Analog article, “ 2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor? ” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old ...

MIT researchers have now replaced silicon with a magnetic semiconductor, creating a magnetic transistor that could enable ...

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it’s a semiconductor, this ...

Intel announces a major technical breakthrough and historic innovation in microprocessors: the world's first 3-D transistors, called Tri-Gate, in a production technology. The transition to 3-D ...

Intel will use its 3D Tri-Gate transistor for volume production at the 22nm process generation. Intel’s 3D Tri-Gate transistors enable chips to operate at lower voltage with lower leakage. Intel says ...

A new breakthrough could make chips smaller, faster, and use less energy even for cold quantum devices. Find out more!
