Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

A University at Buffalo team has proposed a new form of power MOSFET transistor that can handle incredibly high voltages with minimal thickness, heralding an efficiency increase in the power ...

Regular on/off switches rely on fingers and springs to bring bits of wire together or apart. When the wires touch, electrons flow from one to the other, and your computer/nightlight/sock warmer is on.

A spin-out of Cambridge University, Cambridge GaN Devices is a fabless semiconductor company that develops a range of energy-efficient enhancement-mode GaN-based power devices. Cambridge GaN Devices ...

It’s amazing what an electron can do. Researchers, lead by a team from the University of Pittsburgh, have built the world’s first operational single-electron transistor, the SketchSET, which could ...

Researchers from TU Delft and FOM Foundation have successfully measured transport through a single atom in a transistor. This research offers new insights into the behavior of so-called dopant atoms ...

The holiday gave me a chance to play with bipolar transistor mosfet drivers again. And things did not go quite as planned. I had been using the circuit on the right quite happily from a signal ...
