Sean Cudahy is an aviation reporter covering news about airlines, frequent flyer programs and consumer travel issues. The cards we feature here are from partners who compensate us when you are ...

Transistors act as switches that "allow or stop the flow of electricity." By using these ON (1) and OFF (0) states, you can actually perform calculations. In this installment, let's take a look at the ...

T.J.M. and A.F. acknowledge support of this research by AFOSR contract FA9550-22-1-0423, and with J.R., by the Northwestern University Materials Research Science and Engineering Center Award NSF ...

NTT researchers have addressed two primary loss mechanisms in AlN power transistors: the contact resistance and the channel resistance. To understand the potential of aluminum nitride (AlN) in power ...

Scientists argue that quantum technology is entering a transformative era, offering early glimpses of practical systems while exposing the engineering hurdles that must be overcome before the field ...

The first transistors were point contact devices, not far from the cats-whiskers of early radio receivers. They were fragile and expensive, and their performance was not very high. The transistor ...

MIT engineers have developed a magnetic transistor that could pave the way for smaller, faster, and more efficient electronics. By replacing silicon with a magnetic semiconductor, the team created a ...

The transistor, invented at Bell Labs in 1947, replaced bulky vacuum tubes and enabled the miniaturization revolution that created modern electronics. The transistor stands as one of the most ...
