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 ...

Scientists made a single-molecule transistor using quantum interference to control electron flow. This new design offers high on/off ratio and stability, potentially leading to smaller, faster, and ...

Transistors, the building blocks of microprocessors, may have only one place to go in the future according to Intel researchers: up. At a presentation in Japan this week, the Santa Clara, Calif.-based ...
