In the early days, PNP bipolar transistors were common, but the bulk of circuits you see today use NPN transistors. As [Aaron Danner] points out, many people think PNP transistors are “backward” but ...

IBM has developed the blueprint for producing a processor using sub-1-nanometer (nm) chip technology, outdoing its own ...

NASA's $5.2 billion Europa Clipper mission to study Jupiter's fourth-largest moon—Europa—and assess its potential for harboring life will see the spacecraft travel through the most powerful radiation ...

The future began 75 years ago this week with the invention of something small that’s considered the most manufactured item in human history. Odds are, you are surrounded by them right now. The ...

IBM has pushed transistor density to a new extreme, fitting nearly 100 billion transistors onto a single chip roughly 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 ...

When you think of Sony, you probably think of a technology company that’s been around forever. However, as [Asianometry] points out, it really formed in the tough years after World War II. The two ...

Probably the most important invention of the 2oth Century was the transistor. The first point contact transistor shown below was made at Bell Laboratories. The workbench of John Bardeen and Walter ...
