The transistor, invented at Bell Labs in 1947, replaced bulky vacuum tubes and enabled the miniaturization revolution that created modern electronics.

In the decades before the country’s best minds began migrating west to California’s Silicon Valley, many of them came east to New Jersey, where they worked in enormous brick-and-glass buildings ...

Shrinking silicon transistors have reached their physical limits, but a team from the University of Tokyo is rewriting the rules. They've created a cutting-edge transistor using gallium-doped indium ...
