Researchers Unveil World's Tiniest Transistor

2008-04-17 15:21:43 by Bryan Gardiner in Gadget Lab
...transistor. This diminutive little guy is one atom thick and measures about ten atoms across. That's about three times smaller than the 32-nanometer transistors that currently represent the cutting edge of silicon-based electronics, and a far cry from the first transistor developed by Bell Labs back in 1947 (pictured right). The discovery...

...transistor. It's just one atom deep and ten wide, and we don't need to tell you that that's teeny . In fact, it's more than three times smaller than the 32nm transistors at the cutting edge of silicon-based microelectronics: so it looks like Gordon Moore's law of transistor shrinkage has a bit of life in it yet Of course advances in...

...transistor radio - the Regency TR-1, the extremely rare Sony TR-5 (a re-design of Sony's very first model) plus many classic American and Japanese sets. His Flickr photostream features over 500 different models, with more on the way As Michael explains in Collector's Weekly, "If you buy one transistor radio it will most likely grow to two,...

Atom-sized transistor is worlds smallest

2008-04-18 19:08:36 by Nicholas Deleon in CrunchGear
...transistor . Size? Oh, say, about the size of an atom The transistor, which could totally change the way electronics are made, is just one atom thick and 10 atoms wide. Again, its made from graphene, which, apparently, is a significantly better conductor of electricity than silicon. We believe we can increase this mobility of electron flow...

...transistor radios, pointed out by the wonderful Retro-Thing , is surprisingly captivating. You simply don't see this scope of aesthetic design in today's line-up of ubiquitous PMPs. Of course, transistor radios had decades to experiment with the form... once PMPs stop being luxury items, I imagine we'll see the same whimsical design scope...

Scientists Make First Paper-Based Transistor [Transistors]

2008-07-23 05:27:00 by Kit Eaton in Gizmodo
...transistor based on paper. The paper layer acts as an "interstrate", with the actual FET components being fabricated onto both sides: so the paper holds the transistor together and acts as an insulator. Amazingly in tests the paper transistor performed better than amorphous silicon transistors and even approaches the performance of...

...transistor mark, which is remarkable. To be fair, most of these transistors are cache memory (the black rectangles), which is much less complicated to design than the computing cores themselves. To give you an idea, two billion transistors represent the sum of these chips AMD Phenom (463M DC Intel Penryn (410M Intel Conroe (341M PS3 GPU...

...Transistors are semiconductors commonly used to amplify current or serve as a switch, but now they can hold your sleeves together too Each cufflink is 1.5 in long by 1 high with a depth of .25(3.3 x 2.3 x .8 mm). Theyre packaged in a traditional foam and anti-static bag package You can get the Transistor Cufflinks from Fractalspin for $45
