Transistors are tiny components that can turn electrical signals on and off at incredible speeds. In this video, you'll learn ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — Expensive optical-to-electronic-to-optical converters are needed to switch photonic signals. Now, researchers have demonstrated an excitonic transistor that can perform the operation ...

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 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 . . .

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 ...
