One thing we were pleased to see is the smiley-faced electrons don’t frown when they are doped like on the bipolar transistor. We hate to think of our friendly electrons being unhappy.

A transistor is a tiny device that either switches ... Computers operate on a binary system, which uses only two digits: 0 and 1. In a computer microchip, transistors act as switches, letting ...

The first transistor was about half an inch high. That's mammoth by today's standards, when 7 million transistors can fit on a single computer chip. It was nevertheless an amazing piece of technology.

A new type of transistor can dissipate almost zero heat ... the conventional bits of binary data. When you entangle qubits — link them over time and space so they share information ...

Not that the present situation and the abundance of free time that many are experiencing has anything to do with [Leo Fernekes] all-transistor digital clock build, which he started a year ago ...
