Someday, the very fabric of your shirt might contain flexible electronic devices that monitor your vital signs or enable you to dial in the color or pattern you want to wear that day. Futuristic ...

A new spin on one of the 20th century's smallest but grandest inventions, the transistor, could help feed the world's ever-growing appetite for digital memory while slicing up to 5% of the energy from ...

The main principle of this circuit is that the door lock opens only when the buttons in series are pressed at a time. We can use it to lock the doors and for other security purposes. This article ...

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 ...

University of California, Berkeley, researchers have invented a variation on the standard electronic transistor, creating the first "nanofluidic" transistor that allows them to control the movement of ...

Transistors have long served as the building blocks of microelectronics. More recently, microchip lasers have been emerging as cornerstones of light-based circuitry, or photonics. Now, engineers have ...

Over the recent weeks here at Hackaday, we’ve been taking a look at the humble transistor. In a series whose impetus came from a friend musing upon his students arriving with highly developed ...

Finding a problem with your prototype board is bad enough, but when the bug is in your latest IC masterpiece, you know it’s going to be a bad day. Heads may roll. The verification of digital IC ...

A decade of contradictions: infinite hope for the future coupled with fear of powerful enemies. That is the 1950s, a time of war and then of post-war prosperity. Rock and roll was evolving from rhythm ...
