A novel transistor controlled by the chemical that provides the energy for our cells’ metabolism could be a big step towards making prosthetic devices that can be wired directly into the nervous ...

Transistors are at the heart of every gadget — but as futurist Ray Kurzweil once predicted, "Our computers aren't going to be these distinct rectangular devices we carry around. We are going to merge ...

Researchers at the U. S. Navy Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., are designing single-walled carbon nanotube-based transistors (SWCNT) that are protected against the ionizing radiation found in ...

A vacuum tube, known as the first electronic device, is used to switch, amplify, or commutate electric signals. In the past, vacuum tubes functioned as a main part of a diverse range of electronic ...

AI machine learning uses so much computing power and energy that it's typically done in the cloud. But a new microtransistor, 100X more efficient than the current tech, promises to bring new levels of ...

Way back in the salad days of digital computing (the 1940s and '50s), computers were made of vacuum tubes -- big, hot, clunky devices that, when you got right down to it, were essentially glorified ...

You mentioned damping as a part of the issue. It is probably true that transistors always color (that means distort) the output slightly differently than tubes, but you and I with our ~60 year old ...
