If you cultivate an interest in building radios it’s likely that you’ll at some point make a simple receiver. Perhaps a ...

On Oct. 3, 1950, three scientists at Bell Labs in New Jersey received a U.S. patent for what would become one of the most important inventions of the 20th century — the transistor. John Bardeen, ...

A Planet Analog article, “2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor?” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old transistor and how it’s commonly used, and if any uncommon uses might exist.

MIT researchers with colleagues from the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague have used 2D CrSBr, a van der Waals antiferromagnetic semiconductor, to create a transistor that could enable ...

A new device concept opens the door to compact, high-performance transistors with built-in memory. (Nanowerk News) Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon ...

MIT engineers have developed a magnetic transistor that could pave the way for smaller, faster, and more efficient electronics. By replacing silicon with a magnetic semiconductor, the team created a ...

Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has ...

Aerospace and defense applications depend on position, navigation and timing (PNT) technology for mission-critical accuracy and reliability. But integrating PNT into designs requires extensive ...

If you’ve worked with germanium transistors, you’ll know that many of them have a disappointingly low maximum frequency of operation. This has more to do with some of the popular ones dating from the ...

What just happened? A team of researchers at MIT, in collaboration with Georgia Tech and the Air Force Research Laboratory, has developed a new method for integrating gallium nitride (GaN) transistors ...
