Remove the voltage, and the channel vanishes—switching it “off.” Despite these technical differences, all transistors perform the same job: using a small input to control a larger output.

If you ever work with a circuit that controls a decent amount of current, you will often encounter a FET – a Field-Effect Transistor. Whether you want to control a couple of powerful LEDs, sw… ...

At first the US military bought all the transistors Bell Labs could make, and the company agreed to license other manufacturers. As engineers learned how to use the new invention, plans were made for ...

How the transistor helped create Silicon Valley Physicist William Shockley’s homecoming to a little-known region of California helped transform the area into a technology hub.

High voltage nanosecond pulse generation using avalanche transistors represents a transformative avenue in the field of pulsed power technology.

A new material can withstand 'billions' of electrical cycles without wearing out — and scientists say it could transform electronics within 10 to 20 years.
