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 the same way that a pillow filled with pebbles is harder to get smooth than one stuffed with sand, chip makers are finding it harder to make transistors behave predictably as they shrink. Here, the ...

MIT researchers with colleagues from the University of Chemistry and Technology in Prague have used 2D CrSBr, a van der Waals ...

On this day in 1947, scientists at Bell Labs, owned by AT&T — which had a telephone monopoly at the time — tweaked a new gadget the size of a shot glass to produce, basically, amplification. It marked ...

MIT researchers developed a more powerful magnetic transistor that could be used to design simpler circuits and create faster and more energy-efficient electronics.
