Logical circuits have been built from nanosheet stacks of various transistors, which could make electronic devices faster and more compact. Xiong Xiong is in the School of Integrated Circuits and the ...

A detailed teardown of the Type-75 Geiger counter reveals the J405 tube, energy compensation shroud, and a clever ...

Transistors are the fundamental building blocks behind today's electronic revolution, powering everything from smartphones to powerful servers by controlling the flow of electrical currents. But ...

This is a compact three transistor, regenerative receiver with fixed feedback. It is similar in principle to the ZN414 radio IC which is now no longer available. The design is simple and sensitivity ...

Scientists have succeeded in developing logic circuits equipped with diamond-based MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect-transistors) at two different operation modes. This achievement is a ...

Can a simple medium-wave radio receive shortwave broadcasts? In 2005, Burkhard Kainka answered that question with a creative two-transistor converter.

As with many inventions, two people had the idea for an integrated circuit at almost the same time. Transistors had become commonplace in everything from radios to phones to computers, and now ...

The discovery of carbon nanotubes has heralded a new era of scientific discovery that includes the promise of ultra-sensitive bomb detectors and super-fast computer memory chips. But finding a way to ...

At what age did you begin learning about electronics? What was the state of the art available to you at the time and what kinds of things were you building? For each reader these answers can be wildly ...

Someday, the very fabric of your shirt might contain flexible electronic devices that monitor your vital signs or enable you to dial in the color or pattern you want to wear that day. Futuristic ...
