Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

Without transistors the modern world would simply not exist. But how do they work, and how do modern, atomic sized versions compare with the originals? The word "transitor" has become almost invisible ...

I'm playing with setting up some simple circuits, but none of my transistors seem to work. My latest attempt at making them do *something* goes as follows: I hooked up a 180 ohm resistor to the ...

Scientists have created an n-channel transistor using diamond for the first time, potentially leading to faster components that can work in extreme conditions. When you purchase through links on our ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) For new generation electronic appliances advanced nanoscale transistors are in demand which needs precise biasing of each device. These stringent biasing conditions can be relaxed ...
