A RIKEN study shows that squeezing the right amount of potassium ions between the atomic layers of molybdenum disulfide can turn it from a semiconductor into a metal, superconductor or insulator. The ...

A new type of transistor could bring about a bevy of innovative electronic applications, ranging from wearables to implants to IoT devices, due to the tiny amount of power it uses. Developed by ...

A team of engineers has developed a transistor made from linen thread, enabling them to create electronic devices made entirely of thin threads that could be woven into fabric, worn on the skin, or ...

Researchers have designed and simulated the first topological acoustic transistors -- with sound waves instead of electrons -- and proposed a connection architecture to form a universal logic gate ...

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 ...

Move over silicon, wood is the latest material to join the transistor game. Researchers at Linköping University and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology have made history by developing the world's ...

The history of the transistor and similar types. How transistors made an impact on the world. How grudges eventually subside. Transistors are simple electronic devices that boost or switch electrical ...
