A research team working with the world’s largest contract chipmaker has demonstrated a way to build a critical part of a ...

Under fluorescent light, the device looks less like a computer than a tiny constellation of dots. The specks are actually ...

Atomically thin semiconductors could enable dramatically smaller and more efficient chips, but a stubborn problem at the ...

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 ...

Explore how a transistor circuit regulates power and supports the operation of a vintage Geiger counter. #VintageElectronics ...

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 . . .

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Shockley had submitted the patent application for a "three-electrode circuit element ...

Conventional silicon-based electronics are rapidly approaching a fundamental barrier. Below about five nanometers, quantum effects make their behavior unpredictable. That’s led to research into ...

THANKS to the exponential power of Moore’s law, the electronic components that run modern computers vastly outnumber all the leaves on the Earth’s trees. Chris Mack, a chipmaking expert, working from ...

The ever-shrinking features of transistors etched in silicon have always required pushing the cutting edge of manufacturing technology. The discovery of atomically thin materials like graphene and ...
