Dr. Scherer does not think the tiny tube will immediately replace the transistor, but the possibility of applications in space and aviation has caught the attention of Boeing, which is financing the research.

At work his creative team, trying to come up with a new jingle for Miller beer, drew their inspiration from John Lennon and Joni Mitchell, whose music blasted from my dad's transistor radio.

Whether a brilliant bit of product placement or sheer happenstance, the only form of communication that the show's characters had with the outside world was a Packard Bell AR-290 AM transistor radio.
|
|
There, as we wandered Vittoriosa's beautiful residential streets, untended children kicked balls back and forth and danced to crackling transistor radios while young men tinkered with their cars in the late afternoon light.

Ikutaro Kakehashi, an engineer and entrepreneur who used a defective transistor to generate the distinctive sounds of the Roland TR-808, a drum machine that transformed contemporary music, died on Saturday in Japan.

Some of the treasures up for bidding: unused microcomputers, transistor radios, clock radios, original brick cellphones, answering machines, and old catalogs featuring the trendiest consumer electronics of the '60s and '70s and beyond.

Another platoon had recently shot an Afghan with a radio, only to discover that the radio was a harmless transistor for listening to the news and that the man had a mental disability.
|
|
Authorities cut off power, "forcing residents to listen to the latest forecasts on transistor radios in the darkness," and locals crammed into nearly 40 shelters on Antigua under fear their homes would blow down.
|
|
We don't know whether these gadgets will become the next transistor radio or TRS-80, but they prove gadgets aren't dead: Leaf monitors marijuana plants through an app and a whole bunch of sensors.
|
|
One reason for this is a phenomenon called quantum tunnelling, in which the uncertainty of an electron's position means it is sometimes found in another part of the transistor without having physically crossed there.
|
|
The key here, as with most of E Ink's technology, is minimal power consumption and low cost, the latter of which it was able to accomplish by dumping the TFT (thin-film-transistor LCD).
|
|
The added benefits of increased transistor count that come from shrinking die sizes — like decreased power demands, lower heat, improved yields, and cheaper cost per chip — will be harder to come by going forward.
|
|
But as Kakehashi's transistor tale makes clear, it's not about perfection, it's about effect—and 808 is surely the most thorough examination in recent history of a drum machine's relevance to our musical landscape.

For South Koreans, the company's progression from an assembler of clunky transistor radio sets to the world's leading producer of flat-panel television sets, computer chips and smartphones is a source of national pride.
|
|
The little electronic things that did stuff for you — from transistor radios to the Walkman, iPods and GoPros and Fitbits — have been replaced by the "Thing That Does Everything" (better known as a smartphone).
|
|
On the set, Fox had to carry a battery pack the size of a transistor radio in his back pocket, allowing the letters NIKE to light up in fluorescent blue on the Mag high-tops.
|
|
The backdrop: The 20th century's defining moment was WWII and its aftermath, producing the long, great power peace, broad prosperity, a decline of poverty and greater health, not to mention the transistor and space travel.
|
|
If everything goes according to plan, says Dr Yeric, novel transistor designs and new materials might keep things ticking along for another five or six years, by which time the transistors may be 5nm apart.
|
|
Intel does not publish transistor counts for its Skylake chips, but whereas the 22014 had 210,22017 of them, the company's Xeon Haswell E-5, launched in 2014, sports over 5 billion, just 22 nm apart.
|
|
A modern Intel Skylake processor contains around 1.75 billion transistors—half a million of them would fit on a single transistor from the 4004—and collectively they deliver about 400,000 times as much computing muscle.
|
|
Researchers at the University of Wisconsin, Madison have finally created what nanotechnologists have only been able to dream of for decades: a carbon nanotube transistor which is almost two times faster than its silicon counterparts.
|
|
In the months before Tet, he was ordered to map out the locations of Hue's rice stores and pharmacies, at the same time sending medical supplies and transistor radios to his comrades in the hills.
|
|
Over the next 9003 years, the basics of the digital age — the transistor, the microchip, the solar cell, the microwave, the laser, cellular telephony — all came out of Bell Labs, along with eight Nobel Prizes.
|
|
But it was portable and could be programmed by untrained musicians, and with circuits that included the specific defective transistor, the 2808's bass drum sound held thunderous low frequencies that could shake up clubs.
|
|
The length allowed the band to branch out with weird, smooth shit like "Stealing Happy Hours" and "Use of Time" but still pitch the expected reggae-metal burners like "Transistor" and "Beautiful Disaster" at rock radio.
|
|
In collaboration with Samsung, a Korean electronics giant, and GlobalFoundries, another big chipmaker, it has developed a new kind of transistor composed of three sheets of silicon, laid horizontally, which are surrounded completely by gate material.
|
|
I was fortunate enough to work under Moore at the Fairchild research facility and to hear his early presentation on the trend he observed in transistor density at a meeting of local engineers in Palo Alto.
|
|
But as a proof of concept alone, the results here are still important – that new materials can continue to allow smaller transistor sizes, and with it increased power and efficiency for the computers of the future.
|
|
To make this transistor Dr Ma used an electron beam to etch shapes just ten nanometres wide in a mould that was then employed to form the transistor's circuitry in an ultra-thin flexible silicon membrane.
|
|
But none of these information sources exist in the regulatory world of the Federal Communications Commission, where core media ownership rules presume the marketplace for news is defined entirely by pulp, rabbit ears and transistor radios.
|
|
The workshop provided a transistor radio, the clockwork motor from a toy car and the gears of a music box, and from this gizmo, in half an hour, he produced a first, unbearably exciting, bark of sound.
|
|
In the early 1960s, he implanted remote-controlled transistor radios, then fairly new, into the modular sculpture "Oracle" (1962-65), turning a work that looks as grim as a car wreck into a cutting-edge sonic machine.
|
|
He cast a small, obsolete, portable television into bronze, knowingly stirring up comparisons with Ed and Nancy Keinholz's editioned sculpture, "The Block Head" (1981), a television made of a construction block, a lens and a transistor radio.
