If transistors could ... certainly could replace them in computers too. The army, with its need for ever-faster and more efficient calculations, was the first to jump on the bandwagon.

When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June ... the modern transistor used in computer chips—is similar in operation to the one that Shockley first proposed. It consists of a semiconductor ...

Sony launched the world's first non-projection, fully transistorized television, the TV8-301, in May 1960, about six years ...

Even the first electronic computer relied on vacuum tubes—about 18,000 of them ... Bardeen and Brattain produced the world’s first semiconductor amplifier—the point-contact transistor was born.

Semiconductor devices called transistors are the tiny electronic switches that run computations inside our computers. Scientists in the US built the first silicon transistor in 1947. Before that ...

A new type of transistor ... quantum computers by up to 1,000 times and paving the way for massively scaled-up machines. The engineers who created the device say it's the world's first transistor ...

the other is "field-effect transistor" (FET). Although the first transistor was bipolar and the first silicon chips used bipolar transistors, most chips today use field-effect transistors wired as ...

desktop computers, automobiles, consumer products and the military. Founded in 1959 in Danbury, CT, National Semiconductor was in the forefront of the first transistors and integrated circuits.

about six years after Texas Instruments and Regency introduced the first transistor radio. Unlike traditional vacuum-tube televisions, which were bulky, fragile, and power-hungry, the TV8-301 was ...
