A novel transistor controlled by the chemical that provides the energy for our cells’ metabolism could be a big step towards making prosthetic devices that can be wired directly into the nervous ...

Transistors are at the heart of every gadget — but as futurist Ray Kurzweil once predicted, "Our computers aren't going to be these distinct rectangular devices we carry around. We are going to merge ...

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 ...

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 ...

You mentioned damping as a part of the issue. It is probably true that transistors always color (that means distort) the output slightly differently than tubes, but you and I with our ~60 year old ...
