The transistor is the unsung hero of modern life — powering everything from smartphones to satellites. But how did it begin?

There was no doubt about it, point-contact transistors were fidgety. The transistors being made by Bell just didn't work the same way twice, and on top of that, they were noisy. While one lab at Bell ...

Although many scientists contributed along the way, it was three men who really brought the transistor to life, and each played a different role: the thinker, the tinkerer, and the visionary. John ...

Engineers are starting to build hardware that does not just run artificial intelligence, it behaves like a primitive form of ...

Shrinking silicon transistors have reached their physical limits, but a team from the University of Tokyo is rewriting the rules. They've created a cutting-edge transistor using gallium-doped indium ...

Intelligent soft switching with AI support promises to reduce switching losses in power transistors by up to 95 per cent.

Transistor aging and reliability are becoming much more troublesome for design teams at 10nm and below. Concepts like ‘infant mortality’ and ‘bathtub curves’ are not new to semiconductor design, but ...

It used to be a rite of passage to be able to do the math necessary to design various bipolar transistor amplifier ...
