For most of us, electronic technology comes in the form of solid state devices. Transistors, integrated circuits, microcontrollers. But for the first sixty years or so of the field existing, these ...

For decades, the speed of transistors has been approaching its physical limit. Now, researchers have built a new type of ...

A vacuum channel transistor controls electrons at the cathode to suppress gate leakage, letting it work inside amplifiers and ...

This article appeared in Microwaves & RF and has been published here with permission. So, unicorns are gone for good. But not vacuum tubes. It doesn’t seem that tubes will ever disappear ...

EASTHAMPTON — In a world ruled by the microchip, David Mell’s customers at Viva Tubes crave the soft electric hum and warm audio tone of the old-fashioned analog vacuum tube. Tubes — simple devices ...

Vacuum tubes disappeared from electronic products years ago. Yet there have been some lingering vacuum tube-based products in production. The last major vacuum tube retirement was the long-lasting ...

THE author is not so much concerned with fundamental scientific ideas as the practical application of electronic devices, and he does this very thoroughly, with ample references to original literature ...

Consider the plight of a mid-career or even freshly minted electrical engineer in 1960. He or she was perched precariously between two worlds – the proven, practical, and well-supported world of ...
