"Our single-molecule optical transistor generates almost negligible amount of heat. When a single molecule absorbs one photon, there is some probability (quantum yield) that the molecule emits a ...

Single-atom transistors are also the limiting point for Moore's law, where miniaturization can go no further. So fabricating logic circuits from these transistors will bridge the world of silicon ...

Miniature self-sensing transistor thermostats use a single transistor (BJT or FET) to serve as both a temperature sensor and stabilizing heater. These transistor thermostats are (when well designed) ...

A team of Australian physicists has created the world's first functioning single-atom transistor, which could prove a critical building block toward the development of super-fast computers.

Watch a video explaining how the single-atom transistor was made Journal reference: Nature Nanotechnology , DOI: 10.1038/nnano.2012.21 Advertisement ...

Transistors consisting only of several-atom clusters or even single atoms could become the building blocks of a new generation of computers with unparalleled memory and processing power. But first ...

Induction cooktops use electromagnets, conductors, resistance and high-frequency currents to fry eggs at warp speed. Here's how they work. "Use channel 7. It always cooks on 7," chef Sean Rembold ...

International Rectifier, IR introduced a pair of efficient, reliable ultra-fast Trench Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors (IGBTs) optimized for induction heating and resonant ...
