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 ...

There are few technologies more fundamental to modern life than the ability to control light with precision. From fiber-optic ...

On a physical level, a transistor’s internal functioning is very complex, but, in practice, using it in some simple experiments is quite easy and affordable for everyone. A transistor allows to create ...

A team of engineers from the University of Illinois unveiled an upgrade to a transistor laser that can be used to increase computer processor speeds and form two stable energy states with the ability ...

Researchers have developed a single-atom transistor, the world's smallest. This quantum electronics component switches electrical current by controlled repositioning of a single atom, now also in the ...
