“Three-terminal thermal analogies to electrical transistors have been proposed for use in thermal amplification, thermal switching, or thermal logic, but have not yet been demonstrated experimentally.

An Anglo-Italian research group is looking for low-temperature superconductor application areas for its Quatrans (Quasiparticle Trapping Transistors or QTs). The group believes that QTs have all the ...

Probably the most important invention of the 2oth Century was the transistor. The first point contact transistor shown below was made at Bell Laboratories. The workbench of John Bardeen and Walter ...

Just as the common emitter amplifier and common base amplifier each tied those respective transistor terminals to a fixed potential and used the other two terminals as amplifier input and output, so ...

Back gating, body bias, substrate bias, and back bias all refer to a technique for dynamically adjusting the threshold voltage of a CMOS transistor. CMOS transistors are often thought of as ...

Without transistors the modern world would simply not exist. But how do they work, and how do modern, atomic sized versions compare with the originals? The word "transitor" has become almost invisible ...
