Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

In this lesson, students search for transistor-based devices at school. They use the results of their search to explain the significance of the transistor in their lives. A transistor is a tiny device ...

Recent technological advances have opened new possibilities for the development of advanced biomedical devices that could be ...

Flexible prints: a nanocrystal-ink-printed transistor on a flexible backing. (Courtesy: University of Pennsylvania/C Kagan et al.) A high-quality, flexible transistor, made entirely from colloidal ...

Researchers have figured out a way to study single-molecule interactions on very short time scales using nanoscale transistors. Researchers show how, for the first time, transistors can be used to ...

Scientists have developed a biosensor that makes it possible to detect small quantities of the fungus Candida albicans, the cause of common sexually-transmitted infections, within just an hour. The ...

Researchers from MIT and the University of Colorado have fabricated a 3-D transistor that's less than half the size of today's smallest commercial models. To do so, they developed a novel ...

Scientists say they have created the first transistor from a single phosphorous atom using near-atomic precision, which could keep development of processors on track with Moore’s law until at least ...

A team of Stanford researchers has found a way to grow graphene nanoribbons using strands of DNA. This important development could be the key to large-scale production of graphene-based transistors ...

At the December 2021 IEDM conference (a conference for people who design advanced semiconductors), IBM announced it was turning transistors on their heads to keep Moore’s Law scaling alive. The new ...
