Nearly every piece of technology you use—from smartphones to computers—relies on one revolutionary component: the transistor.

This video explains how transistors work as switches and amplifiers in electronic circuits. Transistors control the flow of ...

(Nanowerk News) At Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), physicist Professor Thomas Schimmel and his team have developed a single-atom transistor, the smallest transistor worldwide. This quantum ...

Perovskites have received a lot of attention as semiconductor materials for solar cells because they’re efficient, inexpensive, and easy to make. But designing transistors, the fundamental component ...

It’s the mid 1990’s and I am a design engineer for a company that designs and manufactures custom measurement systems and high power electronics. Our customers range from experimental fusion reactor ...

Researchers have developed a single-atom transistor, the world's smallest. This quantum electronics component switches electrical current by controlled repositioning of a single atom, now also in the ...

It’s amazing what an electron can do. Researchers, lead by a team from the University of Pittsburgh, have built the world’s first operational single-electron transistor, the SketchSET, which could ...

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 ...
