Bell Laboratories, one of the world’s largest industrial laboratories and now part of Lucent Technologies, was originally the research and development arm of the giant telephone company American ...

The transistor is the unsung hero of modern life — powering everything from smartphones to satellites. But how did it begin?

Students work in groups to select an electronic invention and research who and what was involved in its development. Then they create a display that summarizes the main events surrounding the ...

The future began 75 years ago this week with the invention of something small that’s considered the most manufactured item in human history. Odds are, you are surrounded by them right now. The ...

A transistor – a word blend of "transfer" and "resistor" – is a fundamental component of today's advanced electronics. Essentially, a transistor, as one of the foundational elements of modern ...

When you think of Sony, you probably think of a technology company that’s been around forever. However, as [Asianometry] points out, it really formed in the tough years after World War II. The two ...

A huge portion of electronic devices that are discarded at the end of their lives are never recycled, and a big part of the problem is the difficulty in separating out and recovering the valuable ...

For switching high-powered loads from a microcontroller, or for switching AC loads in general, most of us will reach into the ...

Scientists have previously only gotten 'synaptic transistors' to work under cryogenic conditions, but this is the first that can operate at room temperature — while outperforming today's best-in-class ...

Intelligent soft switching with AI support promises to reduce switching losses in power transistors by up to 95 per cent.
