A transistor is a tiny device that either ... built in 1946 and considered the first of the modern generation of electronic computers, used about 18,000 vacuum tubes. The machine needed a lot ...

If transistors could replace vacuum tubes in the phone system, then they certainly could replace them in computers too. The army, with its need for ever-faster and more efficient calculations ...

and some past experience of building computers on perfboard from discrete transistors, so this next project, Q2, is a complete implementation of a PDP8-like microcomputer on a single PCB.

We all know, at least intellectually, that our computers are all built with lots of tiny transistors. But beyond that it’s a little hard to describe. They’re printed on a silicon wafer somehow ...

In June, Apple said it would transition its Mac computers ... and its next-generation will be 7nm chips. These numbers used to be a measure of the tiny spaces in between transistors on a chip ...

A new type of transistor can dissipate almost zero heat — slashing energy usage in future quantum computers by up to 1,000 times and paving the way for massively scaled-up machines. The ...

Now, SemiQon, a Finland-based company focused on quantum computing hardware, has announced the development of what it ...
