The use of transistors for switching things ON and OFF is a key feature of proper hacking. The ability for bipolar transistors to turn things ON and OFF is one of the less known uses while transistors ...

How many remote controls do you have in your home? Don’t you wish all these things were better integrated somehow, or that you could add remote control functionality to a random device? It’s a common ...

For switching high-powered loads from a microcontroller, or for switching AC loads in general, most of us will reach into the parts bin and pull out a generic relay of some sort. Relays are ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. MIT engineers have developed a magnetic transistor that could pave the way for smaller, faster, and more efficient electronics. By ...

Recent advances in semiconductor technology have pushed the concept of transistors with switching speeds greater than one terahertz, or one trillion cycles per second, closer to reality. Transistors ...

Transistors, the tiny switches that flip on and off inside computer chips, have long been the domain of electricity. But scientists are beginning to develop chip components that run on light. Last ...
