Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a transistor which operates on energy ‘scavenged’ from its environment and say this could enable devices which function for months or years ...

The transistor is probably the most important invention in electronic engineering and the basis for nearly all integrated circuits (ICs). The transistor is a three-terminal electronic device that can ...

A new type of transistor has been created using excitons instead of electronics by a team of EPFL researchers that functions effectively at room temperature, a hitherto insurmountable obstacle.

The two types of standard transistors are PNP and NPN which differs in circuit symbols. The layers of semiconductor material used to make the transistor are denoted by the letters. To keep a straight ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) For new generation electronic appliances advanced nanoscale transistors are in demand which needs precise biasing of each device. These stringent biasing conditions can be relaxed ...

A recent Design Idea presents a circuit to measure an airflow rate up to 2000 fpm using two transistors in a Darlington configuration. One transistor works as a self-heated thermal sensor and the ...
