In 1960, many engineers were just starting to learn about transistors. Without an Internet, engineers relied on books, conference papers, and magazines to get technical information. In a series of ...

This piece by Steve Greenberg is part of a series of essays to mark the 50th anniversary of the Beatles' first American television appearance on CBS's "The Ed Sullivan Show." It culminates with CBS ...

The first commercially available transistors weren't much like the ones we use today. For one thing, they were big enough to actually see -- something the millions of transistors on a tiny computer ...

They had no way of knowing all that the transistor could do, but the administrators at Bell Labs still knew they were on to something big. They were about to hold a huge press conference to announce ...

1947: John Bardeen and Walter Brattain, with support from colleague William Shockley, demonstrate the transistor at Bell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey. It's been called the most important ...

Ever wondered how a simple transistor can power an entire computer and run complex code? Discover the amazing world of transistors and how they make the digital world function. This video takes you ...

When one thinks of the most significant dates in our technological development, October 18, 1954 doesn't pop up there at the top of the list. It should; 60 years ago the first portable transistor ...

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 ...

Carver Mead, an electronics engineer and applied physicist, has been awarded the 2022 Kyoto Prize in Advanced Technology for leading contributions to the establishment of guiding principles for very ...

When we first spotted the article about a one-transistor amateur radio transceiver, we were sure it was a misprint. We’ve seen a lot of simple low-power receivers using a single transistor, and a fair ...

The fun part about logic gates is that there are so many ways to make them, with each approach having its own advantages and disadvantages. Although these days transistor-transistor logic (TTL) is the ...

Europa Clipper's transistors aren't as radiation resistant as expected. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. A highly anticipated NASA ...
