Without transistors the modern world would simply not exist. But how do they work, and how do modern, atomic sized versions compare with the originals?

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 ...

Transistors are fundamental to modern electronics for several reasons: Miniaturisation: Transistors are significantly smaller than their predecessors, vacuum tubes.

If we were to identify one component as "the building block of computers," it would have to be the Transistor. Invented at Bell Labs in 1947, the transistor is a small electronic device used in ...

Transistors are the magical electronic components that make your computer, smartphone and virtually every other gadget on the planet function—but how the hell do they work? One word ...

Transistors are everywhere—in your computer, car, phone, and refrigerator—but they’re not shrinking fast enough to satisfy our hunger for ever-faster devices. A new kind of light-based ...

How the physics of transistors work, how components are built in silicon, and how they are connected to create useful chips? How do you transform a pile ...

[Andrew Gibiansky] has just started a tutorial series called Computing with Transistors. It’s purpose is to pull back the many veiled layers between high level languages and the controlling o… ...
