This video explains what transistors are and how they function as electronic switches and amplifiers. As a core component of ...

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 ...

The first announcement of the invention of the transistor met with almost no fanfare. The integrated circuit was originally thought to be useful only in military applications. The microprocessor's ...

Our microelectronics relies on doped semiconductors. But there is an alternative: Instead of the semiconductor parts ...

Scientists at Monash University have created a tiny fluid-based chip that behaves like neural pathways of the brain, ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure. Electronic devices based on 2D semiconductors are considered one of the most promising ...

Scientists at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Stanford University, and the University of Texas at Dallas have managed to build a transistor gate that is only 1 nanometer in length. Their ...

Data centers squander vast amounts of electricity, most of it as heat. The physical properties of diamond offer a potential ...

For any given processor it’s generally easy to find a statistic on the number of transistors used to construct it, with the famous Intel 8086 CPU generally said to contain 29,000 transistors. This is ...

Age of bargain silicon ends The days of cheap transistors are over as TSMC jacks up prices on its most advanced wafers and ...

Transistors will stop shrinking after 2021, but Moore's law will probably continue, according to the final International Technology Roadmap for Semiconductors (ITRS). The ITRS—which has been produced ...
