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 ...
Shrinking computers, faster phones, and smarter gadgets all rely on one tiny component: the transistor. Invented in the 20th century, it’s what powers nearly every modern electronic device.
Most modern electronic devices consist of several key components: transistors, capacitors, resistors, inductors and diodes. Often, they are supplemented by additional components like crystals and ...

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 ...
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 ...
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have demonstrated fully 3D-printed resettable fuses, essential components in active electronics that usually rely on semiconductors. However, ...
Data doesn’t have to travel as far or waste as much energy when the memory and logic components are closer together.
A new low-profile power transistor socket has been designed to facilitate installation of JEDEC TO-3 NPN power transistors by eliminating the need to use insulated bushings. The TO-3 power transistor ...
