Here is a closer look at why old transistors and op-amps are still up and running after decades of their launch.

A friend recently sent me an email noting that the classic 2N3904 bipolar transistor was now 60 years old. Since its “birth” ...

We love a playlist, but sometimes radio is the best way to discover new music. The human touch trumps an algorithm any day, in our humble opinion. While you can tune in on pretty much any ...

I cover food and agribusiness and have a special interest in sustainable supply chains, food safety and quality, as well emerging players and trends in the food industry. A background in forestry ...

That was certainly true in the Soviet Union and Iran after the Islamic Revolution, where people huddled around transistor radios to access a source of information beyond the regime’s control. The ...

A research team at NIMS has developed the world’s first n-channel diamond MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). This breakthrough marks a significant step toward realizing CMOS ...

Year after year, his voice has hit the airwaves. It’s been played in homes and cars, on transistor radios and apps and through big speakers and headphones. It’s helped countless listeners get ...

That makes you feel very irritated. Once own this AM/FM transistor radio, you’ll enjoy a peaceful trip without worries behind since it is not only AC adaptor powered but also 4 AA dry batteries ...

Hearing aids were the first application for transistors. Then, in 1953, the first ever radio using a transistor was demonstrated by the German company Intermetall at the Düsseldorf Radio Fair. In fact ...

A major breakthrough came in 1947, when John Baden, William Shockley and Watter Brattain of Bell labs unveiled the first functioning point contact Germanium transistor. In 1950, Shockley developed the ...

Because of this, the FCC required most radio stations to shut down or reduce power at night leaving just a handful of “clear channel” stations for nighttime programming. However, creating ...
