Texas Instruments—known for calculators—was actually behind some of the biggest breakthroughs in tech history. From inventing ...

Field-effect transistors fabricated from carbon nanotubes have been investigated extensively over the past two decades. This study demonstrates a nanotube-based integrated circuit design that ...

As with many inventions, two people had the idea for an integrated circuit at almost the same time. Transistors had become commonplace in everything from radios to phones to computers, and now ...

The scalable method to create self-healing stretchable transistors and circuits introduced by the researchers could support the development of implantable devices that can measure ...

The formal name of the chip. An integrated circuit (IC) combines thousands, millions or billions of transistors on a single substrate. A certain number of resistors and capacitors may also reside ...

In 1958, Jack Kilby at Texas Instruments built the first integrated circuit, which combined a number of transistors on a silicon chip -- another milestone in semiconductor history.

In the early days, an IC might only contain a simple circuit with just a few transistors like this early Westinghouse example.

Engineers make transistors and electronic devices entirely from thread Transistors and integrated circuits made from threads are combined with thread-based sensors to create fully flexible devices ...

[Kevin Darrah] wanted to make a simple 3.3V regulator without using an integrated circuit. He wound up using two common NPN transistors and 4 1K resistors. The circuit isn’t going to beat out a ...
