A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...

Eventually scientists realized this explained why some materials are ... This understanding was crucial to building a transistor, since the crystal at its core is made by mixing materials with ...

Shockley began a major campaign with the company's lawyers to patent the transistor exclusively under his own name. He called Bardeen and Brattain separately into his office and explained what he ...

The term "complementary" refers to how these two transistor types interact with each other to create a more efficient and reliable circuit. By working together, nMOS and pMOS transistors enable CMOS ...

A new type of transistor can dissipate almost zero heat ... of 1 kelvin and lower — close to absolute zero, they explained in a study uploaded to the preprint database arXiv Oct. 1.

[Chuck] has designed, printed and explained the workings of a BJT transistor using a 3D printed model. We really like this model because it goes a long way to shed light on some of the more subtle ...
