On Oct. 3, 1950, three Bell Labs scientists received a patent for a "three-electrode circuit element" that would usher in the transistor age and the era of modern computing. When you purchase through ...

A Planet Analog article, “2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor?” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old transistor and how it’s commonly used, and if any uncommon uses might exist.

Recently in material science news from China we hear that [Hailin Peng] and his team at Peking University just made the world’s fastest transistor and it’s not made of silicon. Before we tell you ...

In the ever-dynamic and fast-moving world of semiconductors, why do some old transistors like 2N3904 keep on going for decades? Bill Schweber takes a closer look at this remarkable premise while ...

The history of the transistor and similar types. How transistors made an impact on the world. How grudges eventually subside. Transistors are simple electronic devices that boost or switch electrical ...

A new material can withstand 'billions' of electrical cycles without wearing out — and scientists say it could transform electronics within 10 to 20 years. When you purchase through links on our site, ...

A bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is a device that can amplify signals thanks to its two p-n junctions and three terminals: base, collector and emitter. This device is operated by current. At the ...
