The exterior layers of the transistor are known as the "drain" and "source," with the central layer being referred to as the "gate". The function of the transistor is to utilize the voltage applied to ...

A friend recently sent me an email noting that the classic 2N3904 bipolar transistor was now 60 years old. Since its “birth” ...

Transistors are easily damaged so it is important not to mix up the three legs. To help identify the legs, some transistors have a dot near the collector, and/or a tab near the emitter.

The 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics went to William Shockley, Walter Brattain, and John Bardeen for the invention of the transistor. But these talented scientists did not act alone. Their success ...

To help students better understand the transistor and its impact on technology, the documentary and Website Transistorized! is accompanied by this Teachers' Guide. It was produced by Twin Cities ...

"Our integrated artificial nerve, which contains vertical n-type and p-type organic electrochemical transistors, offers sensing, processing and memory functions in the high-frequency domain ...

Silicon transistors function by switching between "off" and "on" states when voltage is applied. This process requires a ...

Each transistor has a source, a gate and a drain, which allow the transistor to function as a switch. The gate is how a transistor controls the flow of current between the source and drain ...

A research team at South China Normal University and Guangdong University of Technology developed a neuromorphic transistor that integrates all three functions. Their device combines photo-sensing, ...
