Our curious minds wonder if they bought super-cheap out-of-spec parts to fill those footprints. The video charts the transistor wars in detail, showing us a feast of tiny radios, and culminating ...

It would however be improper to round off the series without also admitting that bipolar transistors are only part of the story. There is another family of transistors which have analogous circuit ...

These chips are smaller than a centimeter-by-centimeter square, yet they can hold millions of transistors. If one person sat down to build all those miniscule parts and then connect them ...

In the beginning, there was the point-contact transistor. This was the very first transistor ever made, built by Walter Brattain with the help of John Bardeen. It was made of two gold foil ...
