Wood isn’t usually very good at conducting electricity, but now scientists have created the first functional wooden transistor. It’s not the best, and it requires some processing, but it does work and ...

Solid-state transistors, in turn, enabled technologies like the transistor radio, which took over a field once dominated by technologies like the cat's-whisker detector. Indeed, by the 1950s, ...

I'm playing with setting up some simple circuits, but none of my transistors seem to work. My latest attempt at making them do *something* goes as follows: I hooked up a 180 ohm resistor to the ...

(Nanowerk News) A University of Nebraska–Lincoln researcher is one step closer to developing a new kind of transistor chip that harnesses the biological responses of living organisms to drive current ...

For decades, chipmakers have squeezed more computing power out of silicon by shrinking transistors, but that strategy is running into hard physical limits. A new approach from MIT aims to sidestep ...

Lab-on-a-chip is a class of devices that can revolutionize the natural working of a laboratory, with multiple laboratory techniques being integrated and automated in a system that fits into a chip of ...

Engineers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology plan to present research on transistor technology next week that they hope will jumpstart a new development phase in tiny electronics beyond the ...
