This resource provides clear explanations of how switching regulators work and how voltage boosting is achieved efficiently ...

Researchers have developed a single-atom transistor, the world's smallest. This quantum electronics component switches electrical current by controlled repositioning of a single atom, now also in the ...

Over the past century, electronic engineering has improved massively. In the 1920s, a state-of-the-art AM radio contained several vacuum tubes, a few enormous inductors, capacitors and resistors, ...

Engineers are starting to build hardware that does not just run artificial intelligence, it behaves like a primitive form of ...

Pushing the boundary of silicon chip manufacturing toward its atomic limit, IBM has successfully created chips with the smallest chip-ready transistors to date. At 7 nanometers in width, the ...

AF114 germanium transistors and related ones like the AF115 through AF117 were quite popular during the 1960s, but they quickly developed a reputation for failure. This is due to what should have made ...

A transistor is a tiny but powerful electronic component that acts like a switch or an amplifier. It is made from a semiconductor material, usually silicon, and has three legs for connection to ...

Materials incompatibilities have stalled efforts to integrate transistors and memory in a single on-chip, commercial component. That might be about to change. Researchers at Purdue University have ...
