In recent years, electronics engineers have been trying to identify semiconducting materials that could substitute for ...

Guillermo Del Toro’s Frankenstein is now out on Netflix, with the monster (played by Jacob Elordi) shown to be far more human than his titular creator. The ending of the Netflix film differs from both ...

This video explains how transistors work as switches and amplifiers in electronic circuits. Transistors control the flow of current and enable signal processing in everything from small devices to ...

This video explains what transistors are and how they function as electronic switches and amplifiers. As a core component of modern electronics, transistors control the flow of current and enable ...

On Oct. 3, 1950, three scientists at Bell Labs in New Jersey received a U.S. patent for what would become one of the most important inventions of the 20th century — the transistor. John Bardeen, ...

“The Long Walk” adaptation made a few key changes to the Stephen King story that might catch some fans off guard. The biggest change of the film came in the final moments. The winner of “The Long Walk ...

A friend recently sent me an email noting that the classic 2N3904 bipolar transistor was now 60 years old. Since its “birth” was before I got involved with basic electronics, that callout was ...

For decades, the semiconductor industry has been laser-focused on shrinking silicon transistors, but Peking University researchers believe the future might lie in changing materials entirely. In a ...

Figure 1 shows a variation on a sine wave oscillator, it uses just two transistors and a single variable resistor to set the frequency. Figure 1 Just a couple of components are needed for a simple ...

Why it matters: Silicon transistors are great, but just like any other object in the physical world, they are held back by a few limitations. The laws of physics put a bottleneck on performance and ...

Nanoscale 3D transistors made from ultrathin semiconductor materials can operate more efficiently than silicon-based devices, leveraging quantum mechanical properties to potentially enable ...

If you’ve ever hung around scientists, you’ve most likely at some point heard one of them say “the best explanation is the simplest one.” But is it? From the behavior of ants to the occurrence of ...
