Bill Gates is backing a bold bet that the next leap in computing power will not come from squeezing more transistors onto ...

The 1960s provided a unique foundation for those who lived through them. It was a decade of transition—from black-and-white to color, from the earth to the moon, and from traditional values to a new ...

It’s rather amazing how many electronic components you can buy right now are not quite the genuine parts that they are sold as. Outside of dedicated platforms like Mouser, Digikey and LCSC you pretty ...

The first transistors were point contact devices, not far from the cats-whiskers of early radio receivers. They were fragile and expensive, and their performance was not very high. The transistor ...

On Oct. 3, 1950, three scientists at Bell Labs in New Jersey received a U.S. patent for what would become one of the most important inventions of the 20th century — the transistor. John Bardeen, ...

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 ...

Infineon Technologies AG has launched the first of a new family of radiation-hardened (rad-hard) gallium nitride (GaN) transistors, based on its CoolGan technology. Complementing the company’s ...
