Researchers have developed a single-atom transistor, the world's smallest. This quantum electronics component switches electrical current by controlled repositioning of a single atom, now also in the ...

This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...

AF114 germanium transistors and related ones like the AF115 through AF117 were quite popular during the 1960s, but they quickly developed a reputation for failure. This is due to what should have made ...

Materials incompatibilities have stalled efforts to integrate transistors and memory in a single on-chip, commercial component. That might be about to change. Researchers at Purdue University have ...

Pushing the boundary of silicon chip manufacturing toward its atomic limit, IBM has successfully created chips with the smallest chip-ready transistors to date. At 7 nanometers in width, the ...

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 ...
