This video explains how transistors work and how they are used to switch and amplify electrical signals in electronic circuits. Transistors are fundamental to all modern digital and analog systems.

For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is running into hard physical limits. A new approach from MIT aims to sidestep ...

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology plan to present research on transistor technology next week that they hope will jumpstart a new development phase in tiny electronics beyond the ...

Probably the most important invention of the 2oth Century was the transistor. The first point contact transistor shown below was made at Bell Laboratories. The workbench of John Bardeen and Walter ...

Lab-on-a-chip is a class of devices that can revolutionize the natural working of a laboratory, with multiple laboratory techniques being integrated and automated in a system that fits into a chip of ...
