Among semiconductors, the muting transistor and its audio application is perhaps the most obscure and poorly understood of all. There is extremely little information on this subject available on the ...

Bipolar junction transistors transfera current from a lower-resistanceemitter to a higher-resistance collector.You can use this property to measureinductance by ...

Transistors might not seem like that big of a deal to some people. Geeks know that the more transistors that can be crammed into a processor, the more performance the processor will offer. That also ...

Their work is part of a new wave of research aimed at keeping pace with Moore's Law, which holds that the number of transistors in an integrated circuit doubles approximately every two years. In order ...

Something to look forward to: Research is clearly showing a way forward to shrink transistors down even further. The creation of a 2.5nm transistor with high potential for commercial viability shines ...

Microprocessors in smartphones, computers, and data centers process information by manipulating electrons through solid semiconductors, but our brains have a different system. They rely on the ...

(Nanowerk News) Graphene, a one-atom-thick layer of graphitic carbon, has the potential to make consumer electronic devices faster and smaller. But its unique properties, and the shrinking scale of ...

Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

When it comes to learning digital system design, hobbyists and students have a lot of options, whether it’s tinkering with field-programmable gate arrays or working up chip submission for a Tiny ...

At what age did you begin learning about electronics? What was the state of the art available to you at the time and what kinds of things were you building? For each reader these answers can be wildly ...
