Glasgow University researchers have led work that could lead to a new generation of diamond-based transistors for use in high-power electronics. The team has found a new way to use diamond as the ...

A transistor that operates with photons rather ... however — it is sufficient that small input power changes result in larger output power changes. Logic-level restoration.

and two for the audio power amplifier, but it’s possible we’re not factoring in the relatively low gain of a 1950s transistor and they’d need that extra part. In the cut-throat world of late ...

The advantages of transistors over vacuum tubes were many -- not only were they smaller and quicker, but they used next to no power compared to vacuum tubes. (The vacuum tube-powered ENIAC ...
