(Nanowerk Spotlight) In the field of computing, the electronic transistor has long been the dominant technology. Since its invention in 1947, this tiny device has become the foundation of modern ...

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

The transistor, invented at Bell Labs in 1947, replaced bulky vacuum tubes and enabled the miniaturization revolution that created modern electronics.

The MIT team turned to chromium sulfur bromide, a two-dimensional material that acts as a magnetic semiconductor. Its structure allows researchers to switch between two magnetic states with precision.

Ok, we’ll admit it. If you asked us what the first transistorized computer was, we would have guessed it was the TC from the University of Manchester. After all, Dr. Wilkes and company were ...

Key TakeawaysBerkeley Lab scientists showed a novel way to build advanced transistors decades before similar structures ...

Boffins have emerged from their smoke-filled labs, claiming to have created a new type of transistor that can dissipate almost zero heat. This transistor promises to slash energy usage in future ...

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

As transistors are scaled to smaller dimensions, their static power increases. Combining two-dimensional (2D) channel materials with complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) logic architectures ...
