Following its release in the early 1950s the transistor revolutionised the field of electronics, and paved the way for smaller and cheaper radios, calculators, and computers, amongst other things.

Cellphones are a big deal, but to some of us the transistor was an even bigger deal. I was disobeying my parents staying up ...

In the era of big data and artificial intelligence, a new approach has emerged for solving combinatorial optimization ...

In 1782, Alessandro Volta was the first to use the term "semiconducting" to describe the electrical properties of certain materials. In 1833, Michael Faraday observed that the resistance of silver ...

How the first transistor evolved to meet new and emerging application demands as underlying structures transform and multi-die systems gained further adoption. How transistors have enabled the ...

The invention of the transistor was a significant breakthrough that altered the course of history for the electronics and computer industries. They are an inseparable part of any electronic device ...

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 ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 9 - Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure. Electronic devices based on 2D semiconductors are considered one of the most promising ...

Recent research at the Technion lays the ground for future high-performance alternatives to silicon in microelectronics. By stretching an oxide material at an atomic level, the researchers are able to ...
