The First Transistorized Computer . January, 1954: If transistors could replace vacuum tubes in the phone system, then they certainly could replace them in computers too.

Sony launched the world's first non-projection, fully transistorized television, the TV8-301, in May 1960, about six years after Texas Instruments and Regency introduced the first transistor radio.

The first commercial product to use transistors was the hearing aid, made in 1952. Fortune magazine declared 1953 the “Year of the Transistor,” and, by 1954, Texas Instruments had introduced ...

In this lesson, students build two circuits and explore how transistors function. When Bell Labs introduced the transistor in June of 1948, a spokesman proudly announced "This cylindrical object ...

Every few years, we hear about someone building a computer from first principles. This doesn’t mean getting a 6502 or Z80, wiring it up, and running BASIC. I’m talking about builds from… ...

In a bold challenge to silicon s long-held dominance in electronics, Penn State researchers have built the world s first ...

Those abilities are fundamental for building all sorts of electronics, computers included. Within the first decade of the transistor era, these powers were recognized when three Bell Labs ...

A bioelectronic engineer, Klas Tybrandt of Linkoping University in Sweden, has built the first "ion transistor" computer chip, which uses chemical ions and biological molecules as charge carriers ...

A new type of transistor can dissipate almost zero heat — slashing energy usage in future quantum computers by up to 1,000 times and paving the way for massively scaled-up machines. The ...

Scientists say they have created the first transistor from a single phosphorous atom using near-atomic precision, which could keep development of processors on track with Moore’s law until at ...
