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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

[Joe Wingbermuehle] has an interest in computers-of-old, and some past experience of building computers on perfboard from discrete transistors, so this next project, Q2, is a complete ...

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

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 ...

Glasgow University researchers have led work that could lead to a new generation of diamond-based transistors for use in high-power electronics. The team has found a new way to use diamond as the ...

Since hybrid optimization does not change the flow of any standard cell-based design methodology, it is very easily applicable in any such flow. Due to its ability to optimize designs at the ...

Also called a "bipolar junction transistor" (BJT), it is one of two major transistor categories; the other is "field-effect transistor" (FET). Although the first transistor was bipolar and the ...
