Researchers have developed the first transistor made of wood. Their study paves the way for further development of wood-based electronics and control of electronic plants. Researchers at Linköping ...

Many things about diamonds seem eternal, including the many engineering problems related to making them work as a silicon ...

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

Researchers from Linköping University in Sweden made a groundbreaking development: they created a functional transistor out of wood. This new transistor could pave the way for much more sustainable ...

Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

The world's smallest transistor, made from a mere six atoms of carbon suspended between two gold electrodes, has been created by scientists from Yale University and South Korea. Although transistors, ...

Whenever I read about cutting-edge transistors, I appreciate that there's people who enjoy these kind of challenges. Working with things that don't *want* to act predictably sounds like hell to me.

Altering the very fabric of technophilic society, a multinational team of material scientists have created electric circuits and transistors out of cotton fibers. Two kinds of transistor were created: ...

Bell Labs has created a tiny new transistor and discovered a way to whip it up in a laboratory beaker. On Thursday, the research arm of Lucent Technologies unveiled a new organic transistor--made from ...
