The first transistor was about half an inch high. That's mammoth by today's standards ... because when a bit of current came through one of the gold contacts, another even stronger current ...

Many people giving talks had complained about the current germanium transistors -- they had a bad habit of not working at high temperatures. Silicon, since it's right above germanium on the ...

A landmark development led by researchers from the University of Glasgow could help create a new generation of diamond-based ...

Secondly, when turned off, it should permit little to no current leakage. Lastly, for optimal performance, it needs to switch on and off at high speed. In essence, each transistor is capable of ...
