A transistor is a key component in electronics, often used as a switch or to amplify a signal from a sensor. NPN (negative-positive-negative) transistors are the most used transistor. An illustration ...

Explains the principles of transistor switching circuits, highlighting their role in electronic computers. It contrasts transistors with vacuum tubes, emphasizing that transistors function as ...

While many research efforts are underway to develop active devices that can function in the challenging terahertz spectrum, ...

Scientists built a nano switch that controls excitons, chargeless quantum quasiparticles, at room temperature.

OK, so I have an old project laptop with an IDE/PATA/slim-ATAPI optical drive bay, into which I have inserted a SATA drive caddy with a bridge board. The thing is, the caddy doesn't transfer the drive ...

High voltage nanosecond pulse generation using avalanche transistors represents a transformative avenue in the field of pulsed power technology. Exploiting the intrinsic properties of avalanche ...

The humble inventions that power our modern world wouldn’t have been possible without decades of support for early-stage research.
