The TR-55 wasn’t the first Sony radio to have transistors. The TR-52 was a prototype, but it had case problems and never made it into the hands of the public. The radio didn’t make it to the ...

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 ...

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 ...

According to a recent IEEE article, a transistor cost about $8 in today’s money back in the 1960’s. Consider the Regency TR-1, the first transistor radio from TI and IDEA. In late 1954 ...

They had to catch the attention of the public. That happened with the hand-held radio. The first transistor radio was a joint project between the Regency Division of Industrial Development ...

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 ...

Semiconductor devices called transistors are the tiny electronic switches that run computations inside our computers. Scientists in the US built the first silicon transistor in 1947. Before that ...

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 ...
