Efforts to determine the order of the four nucleobases in a strand of DNA have been advancing at an extremely rapid pace in recent years 1,2. Next-generation DNA sequencing technologies promise to ...

Every now and again, a single paper ignites a revolution in science and technology. Such a revolution was started in October 2004, when condensed-matter physicists reported that they had prepared ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract We report here on the structure and operating characteristics of an ambipolar light-emitting field-effect transistor based on single crystals ...

A field effect transistor (FET) is a carrier device with three terminals: source, drain, and gate. In FETs, an electric field can be applied at the terminal of the gate, modifying the conductive ...

Normally, semiconductors don't have many free electrons. Since electric current relies on those free electrons, the amount of current that can travel through an isolated semiconductor is negligible.

This course presents in-depth discussion and analysis of metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) and bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) including the equilibrium characteristics, ...

In 1947, Shockley, Brattain and Bardeen were investigating the field effect transistor but lead them into inventing the bipolar transistor instead. In 1952, the field effect transistor of Shockley was ...

A graphene layer consists of carbon atoms linked by covalent bonds, forming a honeycomb structure. Its excellent electron mobility, chemical and physical stability, electrical and thermal conductivity ...

A research team has developed an n-channel diamond MOSFET (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistor). The developed n-channel diamond MOSFET provides a key step toward CMOS (complementary ...

On this day in tech history, JE Lilienfeld filed a patent for a three-electrode structure using copper-sulfide semiconductor material, known today as a field-effect transistor. Lilienfeld’s patent for ...
