Researchers have reported a black phosphorus transistor that can be used as an alternative ultra-low power switch. A research team developed a thickness-controlled black phosphorous tunnel ...

The end result was a wooden transistor that could work like a normal one. The component could regulate an electric current passing through it, provide a consistent flow of electrons at a selected ...

Fast switching: the Hybrid Photonics Labs at Skoltech where the new optical transistor was created. (Courtesy: Skoltech) A new optical transistor has been designed by researchers in Russia, ...

CAMBRIDGE, Mass.--MIT engineers have demonstrated a technology that could introduce an important new phase of the microelectronics revolution that has already brought us iPods, laptops and much more.

On Oct. 3, 1950, three Bell Labs scientists received a patent for a "three-electrode circuit element" that would usher in the ...

This is the third installment in our CPU design series. In Part 1, we covered computer architecture and how a processor works at a high level. Part 2 explored the design and implementation of ...

How Do Transistors Work? At its core, a transistor is an electronic gatekeeper. It controls the flow of electric current through a semiconductor material. Most transistors have three terminals, often ...
