But before even those transistor-based computers is a retrocomputing era rarely touched on: the era of programmable vacuum tube machines. [Mike] has gone back to the 1950s with this computer which ...

If transistors could replace vacuum tubes in ... engineers from Bell Labs built the first computer without vacuum tubes. Known as TRADIC (for TRAnsistorized DIgital Computer), the machine was ...

In this lesson, students search for transistor-based devices at school ... which uses only two digits: 0 and 1. In a computer microchip, transistors act as switches, letting current through ...

This is a very small amount, notwithstanding the many billions of tasks that computers perform. If we could operate computers ...

On the other hand, this computer goes all the way back to first principles and implements a complete processor out of individual transistors instead. The transistor computer uses over 2000 ...

A landmark development led by researchers from the University of Glasgow could help create a new generation of diamond-based ...

Conventional electronics based ... scaled 3D transistors involves employing quantum transport formalism for simulating carrier transport, using a commercially available technology computer-aided ...
