For switching high-powered loads from a microcontroller, or for switching AC loads in general, most of us will reach into the parts bin and pull out a generic relay of some sort. Relays are ...

The transistor is one of the most important components in electronics. By switching or amplifying electrical signals, transistors make sure that our smartphones, computers and even coffee machines do ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. MIT engineers have developed a magnetic transistor that could pave the way for smaller, faster, and more efficient electronics. By ...

Shockley had continued his semiconductor work, and in 1948 patented the modern junction transistor. Three years later, Bell Labs demonstrated part number M1752 ...

Researchers have built working transistors from graphene nanoribbons less than a nanometer wide, achieving room-temperature switching performance that silicon struggles to match at similar scales. The ...

Intel’s 3D transistors are no small feat. Some are calling it a breakthrough that will allow Intel to continue to make chips that adhere to Moore’s Law (i.e. the number of transistors that can be ...

Switched-mode power supplies are found in electronics all around us. They provide the DC voltages that power our computers, cell phones, chargers, appliances, and myriad other electronic devices.

Confined molecules inside carbon nanotubes polarize under gate voltage, creating transistors with three stable logic states from a single material system.
