They were the first company to produce silicon transistors -- and consequently the first company to produce a truly consistent mass-produced transistor. Scientists knew about the problems with ...

In the beginning, there was the point-contact transistor. This was the very first transistor ever made, built by Walter Brattain with the help of John Bardeen. It was made of two gold foil ...

Since the 1940s when the first transistor was created, transistors have evolved from ornery blocks of germanium wrangled into basic amplifiers into thousands and thousands of different devices ...

A new type of transistor can dissipate almost zero heat — slashing energy usage in future quantum computers by up to 1,000 times and paving the way for massively scaled-up machines. The ...

On December 16, 1947, they demonstrated the first working transistor, now known as the point-contact transistor (a feat for which they were awarded the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics). The first ...

Sony launched the world's first non-projection, fully transistorized television, the TV8-301, in May 1960, about six years after Texas Instruments and Regency introduced the first transistor ...

the other is "field-effect transistor" (FET). Although the first transistor was bipolar and the first silicon chips used bipolar transistors, most chips today use field-effect transistors wired as ...

some six years after Texas Instruments and Regency brought the first transistor radio to market. Designed to be portable, the TV8 featured an eight-inch black and white display complete with an ...
