At the end of the day, a transistor is a simple concept—a controllable switch—that can be built in myriad ways. Its genius is in its scalability and versatility.

Modern Transistor Innovations: FinFETs, GAA, and Nanosheets Packing more transistors onto chips and making them switch faster has required steady innovations in how transistors are built.

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

By using a carefully tuned laser pulse, the researchers are able to use fullerene to switch the path of an incoming electron in a predictable way. This switching process can be three to six orders of ...

Portland, Ore. — Researchers at the University of Alberta have successfully demonstrated a single-molecule switch and transistor. “There is no longer a question of whether a single molecule can be ...

At its most straightforward, a transistor—or field effect transistor, to give the microscopic device found in all your electronics its proper name—is just a tiny switch.
