Scientists have designed a transistor that stores and processes information like the human brain and can perform cognitive tasks that most artificial intelligence (AI) systems today struggle with.

A novel transistor controlled by the chemical that provides the energy for our cells’ metabolism could be a big step towards making prosthetic devices that can be wired directly into the nervous ...

Transistors are at the heart of every gadget — but as futurist Ray Kurzweil once predicted, "Our computers aren't going to be these distinct rectangular devices we carry around. We are going to merge ...

A vacuum tube, known as the first electronic device, is used to switch, amplify, or commutate electric signals. In the past, vacuum tubes functioned as a main part of a diverse range of electronic ...

Researchers at the U. S. Navy Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., are designing single-walled carbon nanotube-based transistors (SWCNT) that are protected against the ionizing radiation found in ...

AI machine learning uses so much computing power and energy that it's typically done in the cloud. But a new microtransistor, 100X more efficient than the current tech, promises to bring new levels of ...

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 ...
