When we were in school, every description of how transistors work was pretty dry and had a lot of math involved. We suppose you might have had a great instructor who was able to explain things ...

Understanding these operations is key to understanding how transistors work and contribute to the complex world of electronics. The source acts as the emitter filament of an electron tube; the drain ...

The devices are a little archaic by today’s standards, with comically low-gain germanium transistors and passives from the Ark. Injecting a signal reveals that the various stages all work ...

The scientists Aylesworth talked to suggested there were probably additional impurities in the tin to make that first transistor work. So instead of the tin-doped germanium, Aylesworth used a ...

One way to understand how transistors work is by comparing them with a garden hose with a kink in it. Positively charging the ...

That transistor, a junction transistor ... he kept Bardeen and Brattain as far removed from the work as possible. Bardeen would soon describe the situation as "intolerable." ...

Examples like Intel's Loihi chips tend to get competitive performance out of far lower clock speeds and energy use, but they ...

It can only add single bits at a time and is limited to kilohertz clock speeds, but it is capable of executing the full ...

seeing who could manufacture smaller transistors and bear the production costs that come with it. Our work proposes a radically different approach based on exploiting a computing paradigm using ...

Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have demonstrated that a single, standard silicon transistor, the fundamental building block of microchips used in computers, smartphones ...

CMOS technology combines two types of transistors that work together, leading to efficient power use and high noise immunity. CMOS technology uses two different types of transistors, n-type (nMOS) and ...

“By integrating atomically-thin 2D semiconductors into a 3D architecture, we have unlocked new possibilities for performance enhancement, transistor scalability and energy efficiency.” Banerjee and ...
