“Three-terminal thermal analogies to electrical transistors have been proposed for use in thermal amplification, thermal switching, or thermal logic, but have not yet been demonstrated experimentally.

An Anglo-Italian research group is looking for low-temperature superconductor application areas for its Quatrans (Quasiparticle Trapping Transistors or QTs). The group believes that QTs have all the ...

Probably the most important invention of the 2oth Century was the transistor. The first point contact transistor shown below was made at Bell Laboratories. The workbench of John Bardeen and Walter ...

Just as the common emitter amplifier and common base amplifier each tied those respective transistor terminals to a fixed potential and used the other two terminals as amplifier input and output, so ...

Without transistors the modern world would simply not exist. But how do they work, and how do modern, atomic sized versions compare with the originals? The word "transitor" has become almost invisible ...

A Northwestern research team has developed a novel device called a “memtransistor,” which operates much like a neuron by performing both memory and information processing. With combined ...

Computer algorithms might be performing brain-like functions, such as facial recognition and language translation, but the computers themselves have yet to operate like brains. “Computers have ...

Most students run away from science and technology classes because they find it difficult to use some of the complex devices during practicals. To help this set of students, three students of St ...
