In this article, I'll show you how to make a simple touch-triggered switch. This is very useful for various electronic projects, from a simple bedside light to a flat panel touch keyboard. The circuit ...

The history of the transistor and similar types. How transistors made an impact on the world. How grudges eventually subside. Transistors are simple electronic devices that boost or switch electrical ...

Researchers have developed the first transistor made of wood. Their study paves the way for further development of wood-based electronics and control of electronic plants. Researchers at Linköping ...

The ability to make a very miniature on/off switch changed the world. These tiny switches, known as transistors, make up the basis of all modern computing—they drive your cell phones, your bank ...

Australian researchers have been able to place a single phosphorous atom with extreme accuracy inside a silicon crystal, making a working transistor and paving the way for advances in quantum ...

Why was the transistor such a big deal? Until the late 1940s, electronics relied on vacuum tubes, glass bulbs that used a delicate filament inside a vacuum to moderate the flow of electrons. Vacuum ...

Researchers at Linköping University, together with colleagues from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, have now developed the world’s first electrical transistor made of wood. The contents may be ...
