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 ...

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 ...

Flexible prints: a nanocrystal-ink-printed transistor on a flexible backing. (Courtesy: University of Pennsylvania/C Kagan et al.) A high-quality, flexible transistor, made entirely from colloidal ...

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

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

Scientists have developed a biosensor that makes it possible to detect small quantities of the fungus Candida albicans, the cause of common sexually-transmitted infections, within just an hour. The ...

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 ...

A team of Stanford researchers has found a way to grow graphene nanoribbons using strands of DNA. This important development could be the key to large-scale production of graphene-based transistors ...

Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for the development of advanced biomedical devices that could be implanted inside the human body. These devices could be used to monitor ...
