Many things about diamonds seem eternal, including the many engineering problems related to making them work as a silicon ...

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

Advances in materials and architecture could lead to silicon-free chip manufacturing thanks to a new type of transistor.

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

The production of transistors is a complex process and it needs a specialized environment (high temperature) and sophisticated equipment (capable of producing a high vacuum). To make the process of ...

Altering the very fabric of technophilic society, a multinational team of material scientists have created electric circuits and transistors out of cotton fibers. Two kinds of transistor were created: ...
