It’s 2017 and even GoPro cameras now come with voice activation. Budding videographers, rest assured, nothing will look more professional than repeatedly yelling at your camera on a big shoot.

CDimension’s technology, which enables semiconductor makers to manufacture arrays of extremely small, fast, and efficient “2D” transistors, has the potential to change what’s possible for both digital ...

We aren’t sure this technically qualifies as music synthesis, but what else do you call a computer playing music? In this case, the computer is a Teensy, and the music comes from a common classroom ...

Before transistors and microchips, engineers had limited options for building computing machines. Light bulbs, known as vacuum tubes, were the only components fast and reliable enough to perform ...

What many engineers once saw as a flaw in organic electronics could actually make these devices more stable and reliable, according to new research from the University of Surrey and JOANNEUM RESEARCH ...

The ability to make a very miniature on/off switch changed the world. These tiny switches, known as transistors, make up the basis of all modern computing—they drive your cell phones, your bank ...

Researchers from TU Wien, Johannes Kepler University Linz, and TU Bergakademie Freiberg manufactured a silicon-germanium (SiGe) transistor using an alternative approach that involves doping the ...

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.
