For example, you can insert a resistor, a capacitor, an inductor, a diode, or a transistor and get a readout of which pin is which. It seems like magic, but [Andreas Spiess] did the research on ...

When we were in school, every description of how transistors work was pretty dry and had a lot of math involved. We suppose you might have had a great instructor who was able to explain things ...

A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...

Transistors had become commonplace in everything from radios to phones to computers, and now manufacturers wanted something even better. Sure, transistors were smaller than vacuum tubes ...

Scientists in India developed a transistor using single molecules, offering a leap forward in energy-efficient, low-power ...

The first transistor was about half an inch high. That's mammoth by today's standards, when 7 million transistors can fit on a single computer chip. It was nevertheless an amazing piece of technology.

The idea of an optical transistor — and the associated optical logic circuits that may follow — conjures images of light controlling light in some sparkling, transparent computer. This dream ...

Fig. 1: In nanosheet transistors, the gate contacts the channel on all sides (gate all around) and multiple sheets enable higher drive current than in finFETs. Silicon orientation differences (110 to ...

Scientists at the S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences have developed a transistor using single molecules controlled ...

Orientation at Brandeis is created by students for students. Orientation is coordinated by a small group of student leaders who work closely with the Director of Orientation and First Year Experience ...

Born in the Swinging Sixties, Quad’s famous 33 preamp and 303 power amp are back with a revitalized design and a classic ...
