The very first transistor -- the foundational block which almost all of modern civilization was built from -- was created at AT&T's Bell Labs on December 23 1947. This first transistor was huge and ...

The invention of the transistor is one of the most important inventions of the 20th century. The transistor was invented in ...

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object . . .

Move over silicon, wood is the latest material to join the transistor game. Researchers at Linköping University and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology have made history by developing the world's ...

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 ...

Sunday marks the 60th anniversary of the assembly of the very first transistor, invented at Bell Labs in 1947. That legendary company, along with semiconductor manufacturers such as Texas Instruments, ...

Researchers at Linköping University and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology have developed the world’s first transistor made of wood. Their study, published in the journal PNAS, paves the way for ...

Listeners: Want to hear something fun? We recorded two balloons popping, one outside and one inside Bell Labs' famed anechoic chamber, which is devoid of reverberation. Take a listen below. This year, ...

Transistors are tiny electronic components that act as switches and amplifiers, and they dwell at the heart of modern technology. In simple terms, a transistor can turn a flow of electricity on or off ...

CORVALLIS – Engineers at Oregon State University have created the world’s first transparent transistor, a see-through electronics component that could open the door to many new products. The advance ...

Researchers at Berkeley Lab, using a trio of single-atom-thick wonder materials -- graphene, boron nitride, and molybdenite -- have created the first all-2D field-effect transistor. This FET could ...
