Why was the transistor such a big deal? Until the late 1940s, electronics relied on vacuum tubes, glass bulbs that used a delicate filament inside a vacuum to moderate the flow of electrons. Vacuum ...

Researchers from Italy and Serbia have built a transistor made from copper (II) and phthalocyanine (CuPc), a famous whitening agent used in toothpaste. These materials can also be used as organic ...

Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for the development of advanced biomedical devices that could be ...

Engineers have created the world's smallest transistor in which electricity flows through a molecule. The device is only visible through a powerful microscope, but experts say it has the potential to ...

In a nutshell: Back in 2021, a team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology made waves by creating an entirely new type of ferroelectric material. Now, those same researchers have one-upped ...

Glasgow University researchers have found a new way to use diamond as the basis of a transistor that remains switched off by default – a development crucial for ensuring safety in devices which carry ...

Researchers at UCLA recently developed what they are calling a thermal transistor: a solid-state device able to control the flow of heat with an electric field. This opens the door to controlling the ...
