Engineers are starting to build hardware that does not just run artificial intelligence, it behaves like a primitive form of ...
Transistors may be small, but they’re the reason modern electronics work. This video breaks down how these tiny components ...
75 years ago this month, research scientists working at Bell Labs first created, then unveiled to the world a new device—the point contact transistor. Some call it the greatest invention of the 20th ...
On Dec. 16, 1947, the future began with the invention of the transistor. A lab notebook indicates that researchers at Bell Telephone Laboratories first got the thing to work on this day 75 years ago.
The future began 75 years ago this week with the invention of something small that’s considered the most manufactured item in human history. Odds are, you are surrounded by them right now. The ...
Atomic-scale imperfections in graphene transistors generate unique wireless fingerprints that cannot be copied or predicted, ...
Many Hackaday readers have an interest in retro technology, but we are not the only group who scour the flea markets. Alongside us are the collectors, whose interest is as much cultural as it is ...
This year’s top semiconductor stories were mostly about the long and twisting trips a technology takes from idea (or even raw ...
When you think of Sony, you probably think of a technology company that’s been around forever. However, as [Asianometry] points out, it really formed in the tough years after World War II. The two ...
An SCR topology transmogrifies into BJT two-wire precision current source with a self-resetting fault-current limiter.
A huge portion of electronic devices that are discarded at the end of their lives are never recycled, and a big part of the problem is the difficulty in separating out and recovering the valuable ...
