A transistor normally requires several fundamentally different materials—a semiconductor to carry current, an insulating ...

A Brief History The first transistor, invented at Bell Labs in 1947, was a handmade device about half an inch tall—enormous by today’s standards, when billions fit on a single chip. On December 23, ...

Wood isn’t usually very good at conducting electricity, but now scientists have created the first functional wooden transistor. It’s not the best, and it requires some processing, but it does work and ...

Scientists have created an experimental electronic component that can both remember earlier signals and process new ones, ...

Researchers at South Korea's Institute for Basic Science chemically converted a single tungsten diselenide crystal into a ...

Engineers at MIT have demonstrated that vertical three-dimensional transistor architectures, built with features as small as 2.5 nanometers across, can pack tens of billions of devices onto a single ...

Researchers have shown that solution-processed niobium carbide MXene electrodes deliver cleaner, lower-resistance contacts ...

Siemens (XTRA:SIE) and IBM have agreed to work together on nanostack transistor technology for next generation semiconductor ...

The future began 75 years ago this week with the invention of something small that’s considered the most manufactured item in human history. Odds are, you are surrounded by them right now. The ...

75 years ago this month, research scientists working at Bell Labs first created, then unveiled to the world a new device—the point contact transistor. Some call it the greatest invention of the 20th ...

Why silk is being used for bio-compatible transistors. How the silk is transformed to develop the transistor function. The two types of operation provided by the silk-based transistor. Silicon and ...
