In the early days, PNP bipolar transistors were common, but the bulk of circuits you see today use NPN transistors. As [Aaron Danner] points out, many people think PNP transistors are “backward” but ...

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 ...

Building things in a lab is easy, at least when compared to scaling up for mass production. That’s why there are so many articles about fusion being right around the corner, or battery technology that ...

Traditional CMOS chips are fabricated by applying and then etching repeated layers of different materials, applied to a wafer ...

Scientists have created an n-channel transistor using diamond for the first time, potentially leading to faster components that can work in extreme conditions. When you purchase through links on our ...

As the industry advances into the angstrom era, gate-all-around architectures combined with atomic-scale materials ...

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 ...
