TSMC has quietly begun volume production of its 2nm-class N2 process in Q4 2025 as planned, marking the company’s first GAA ...

Bell Laboratories, one of the world’s largest industrial laboratories and now part of Lucent Technologies, was originally the research and development arm of the giant telephone company American ...

On Oct. 3, 1950, three scientists at Bell Labs in New Jersey received a U.S. patent for what would become one of the most important inventions of the 20th century — the transistor. John Bardeen, ...

When we were in school, every description of how transistors work was pretty dry and had a lot of math involved. We suppose you might have had a great instructor who was able to explain things more ...

An SCR topology transmogrifies into BJT two-wire precision current source with a self-resetting fault-current limiter.

Although many scientists contributed along the way, it was three men who really brought the transistor to life, and each played a different role: the thinker, the tinkerer, and the visionary. John ...

When a Hackaday article proclaims that its subject is a book you should read, you might imagine that we would be talking of a seminal text known only by its authors’ names. Horowitz and Hill, perhaps, ...

Atomic-scale imperfections in graphene transistors generate unique wireless fingerprints that cannot be copied or predicted, ...

Nearly 62 years after researchers at Bell Labs demonstrated the first functional transistor, scientists say they have made another major breakthrough. Researchers showed the first functional ...

Transistor aging and reliability are becoming much more troublesome for design teams at 10nm and below. Concepts like ‘infant mortality’ and ‘bathtub curves’ are not new to semiconductor design, but ...

A brilliant and rewarding combat system propels a story that never becomes as interesting as it seemingly should. PC Gamer's got your back Our experienced team dedicates many hours to every review, to ...
