Transistors, small semiconductor-based switches that control the flow of electricity, are central components of all ...

A single electron makes the difference between “on” and “off” for a new transistor made from a single carbon nanotube, whose minute size and low-energy requirements should make it an ideal device for ...

Three-terminal thermal analogies to electrical transistors have been proposed for use in thermal amplification, thermal switching, or thermal logic, but have not yet been demonstrated experimentally.

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

Transistor is coming to the Nintendo Switch, alongside Supergiant Games' Bastion, and we got to play it for ourselves at PAX West 2018. Supergiant Games is making a splash on Nintendo Switch by ...

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 ...

We demonstrate two general classes of magnetophoretic transistors, called the “trap” and the “repel-and-collect” transistors, capable of switching single magnetically labeled cells and magnetic ...
