In the early days, PNP bipolar transistors were common, but the bulk of circuits you see today use NPN transistors. As [Aaron Danner] points out, many people think PNP transistors are “backwa… ...

How Do Transistors Work? At its core, a transistor is an electronic gatekeeper. It controls the flow of electric current through a semiconductor material.

A working sandwich transistor would require that electricity travel straight across a crystal instead of around the surface.

In a remarkable feat of micro-engineering, physicists have created a working transistor consisting of a single atom placed precisely in a silicon crystal. The tiny electronic device uses as its ...

Researchers have developed a working transistor consisting of a single atom placed precisely in a silicon crystal, paving the way for future quantum computers.
