This is a very small amount, notwithstanding the many billions of tasks that computers perform. If we could operate computers ...

and some past experience of building computers on perfboard from discrete transistors, so this next project, Q2, is a complete implementation of a PDP8-like microcomputer on a single PCB.

We all know, at least intellectually, that our computers are all built with lots of tiny transistors. But beyond that it’s a little hard to describe. They’re printed on a silicon wafer somehow ...

If transistors could replace vacuum tubes in the phone system, then they certainly could replace them in computers too. The army, with its need for ever-faster and more efficient calculations ...

As an essential part of a broad spectrum of electronic devices such as computers, smartphones, and other consumer electronics, transistors play a vital role in driving technological progress.

That's mammoth by today's standards, when 7 million transistors can fit on a single computer chip. It was nevertheless an amazing piece of technology. It was built by Walter Brattain. Before ...

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 ...

Scientists from the University of Glasgow have made a major breakthrough that could lead to a new generation of powerful and ...

A landmark development led by researchers from the University of Glasgow could help create a new generation of diamond-based ...

This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) including the equilibrium characteristics, ...
