CHAMPAIGN, Ill. - Put the inventor of the light-emitting diode and the maker of the world's fastest transistor together in a research laboratory and what kinds of bright ideas might surface? One ...

Transistors are everywhere—in your computer, car, phone, and refrigerator—but they’re not shrinking fast enough to satisfy our hunger for ever-faster devices. A new kind of light-based transistor ...

Two tuners were developed for this receiver. The more sensitive one uses tetrode transistors in the RF amplifier, mixer and oscillator. Its disadvantages lie in a much higher cost and a 12 to 14 db ...

If you cultivate an interest in building radios it’s likely that you’ll at some point make a simple receiver. Perhaps a regenerative receiver, or maybe a direct conversion design, it’ll take a couple ...

Toshiba has updated its solid-state lidar, claiming the world’s smallest physical volume. A key improvement is within the silicon photo-multiplier (SiPM) light receiving integrated circuits which have ...
