A research team at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) claims the smallest transistor that can switch power with a single atom in a solid electrolyte. Transistors are a fundamental component ...

As far as transistor size is concerned, it doesn't get any smaller than this. An international group of researchers from the Helsinki University of Technology, the University of New South Wales and ...

This single transistor audio mixer is used in an amplifier circuit design with base driven transistor and with its emitter being current controlled, most of the driving current flows through the ...

The device comprises a single phosphorus atom, etched into a silicon bed, with "gates" to control electrical flow and metallic contacts that are also on the atomic scale. "Our group has proved that it ...

If you’ve spent any time on hackaday.io, you may have noticed that more than a few denizens of the site are fans of “alternative” electronic logic. Aiming to create digital circuits from such things ...

A very simple but highly efficient combination lock circuit is shown in the figure. Any type of on/off switches can be used, varying from commercially available inexpensive types to more sophisticated ...

Some of the many low-dropout (LDO) regulators supplying voltage regulation for electronic systems are designed for low noise. For example, the IC in Figure 1 achieves an RMS noise voltage of about 115 ...

Individual transistors made from carbon nanotubes are faster and more energy efficient than those made from other materials. Going from a single transistor to an integrated circuit full of transistors ...

ITHACA, N.Y. ---- A long-sought goal of scientists has been to shrink the transistor, the basic building block of electronic circuits, to smaller and smaller size scales. Scientists at Cornell ...
