Scientists have designed a transistor that stores and processes information like the human brain and can perform cognitive tasks that most artificial intelligence (AI) systems today struggle with.

A vacuum tube, known as the first electronic device, is used to switch, amplify, or commutate electric signals. In the past, vacuum tubes functioned as a main part of a diverse range of electronic ...

Researchers at the U. S. Navy Research Laboratory in Washington, D.C., are designing single-walled carbon nanotube-based transistors (SWCNT) that are protected against the ionizing radiation found in ...

Way back in the salad days of digital computing (the 1940s and '50s), computers were made of vacuum tubes -- big, hot, clunky devices that, when you got right down to it, were essentially glorified ...

Did you know that the first half of the 20th century was dominated by vacuum tubes? Be it radio, television, telephone networks or computers, vacuum tubes were the basic component for all electronics.
