Inside there's a coil of wire wrapped around an iron core. When a current flows through this control wire, it creates a ...

A research team at Kyoto University has built a silicon carbide transistor that operates at 600°C (873 K) using ion ...

For more than two decades, silicon carbide (SiC) has been promoted as the key to developing extreme-environment electronics.

In this lesson, students search for transistor-based devices at school. They use the results of their search to explain the significance of the transistor in their lives. A transistor is a tiny device ...

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 . . .

Under fluorescent light, the device looks less like a computer than a tiny constellation of dots. The specks are actually ...

On Dec. 16, 1947, the future began with the invention of the transistor. A lab notebook indicates that researchers at Bell Telephone Laboratories first got the thing to work on this day 75 years ago.

As long as the circuit is complete—which in a flashlight means the switch is left on—current will continue to flow, gradually ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Shockley had submitted the patent application for a "three-electrode circuit element ...

Conventional silicon-based electronics are rapidly approaching a fundamental barrier. Below about five nanometers, quantum effects make their behavior unpredictable. That’s led to research into ...

The ever-shrinking features of transistors etched in silicon have always required pushing the cutting edge of manufacturing technology. The discovery of atomically thin materials like graphene and ...
