A newly developed transistor device has shown exceptional levels of resilience in tests, performing so well, in fact, that it ...

The new type of transistor, known as the "cryo-CMOS transistor," is optimized to operate at temperatures under 1 K and emit near-zero heat. A new type of transistor can dissipate almost zero heat ...

Our curious minds wonder if they bought super-cheap out-of-spec parts to fill those footprints. The video charts the transistor wars in detail, showing us a feast of tiny radios, and culminating ...

The first transistor was about half an inch high. That's mammoth by today's standards, when 7 million transistors can fit on a single computer chip. It was nevertheless an amazing piece of technology.

So What Was the Transistor Good For? Transistors may have been useful to the phone company and to a handful of scientists building computers, but that wasn't enough to build an industry.
