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

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 ...

A new magnetic transistor switches current ten times more strongly than silicon chips while operating at lower energy, and ...

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

Flower power: IGT-based logic gates attached to the surface of orchid petals. (Courtesy: Jennifer Gelinas/Columbia University Irving Medical Center) A new ion-driven transistor that can safely ...

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 . . .

MIT researchers developed a more powerful magnetic transistor that could be used to design simpler circuits and create faster and more energy-efficient electronics.

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 ...

MIT engineers built a magnetic transistor from chromium sulfur bromide, promising smaller, faster electronics with built-in ...

Researchers have used a unique tool inserted into an electron microscope to create a transistor that's 25,000 times smaller than the width of a human hair. An international team of researchers have ...

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. The new ...
