For decades, the speed of transistors has been approaching its physical limit. Now, researchers have built a new type of ...

DETROIT -- An estimated 208,000 electric vehicles are being recalled by Hyundai and Kia because of an issue with a transistor that can lead to a loss of drive power. According to the Associated Press, ...

A vacuum channel transistor controls electrons at the cathode to suppress gate leakage, letting it work inside amplifiers and ...

Engineers at MIT have produced the smallest three-dimensional transistor ever reported, a device so compact that a chip ...

Transistors that can change properties are important elements in the development of tomorrow's semiconductors. With standard transistors approaching the limit for how small they can be, having more ...

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 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 . . .
