If transistors could replace vacuum tubes in ... engineers from Bell Labs built the first computer without vacuum tubes. Known as TRADIC (for TRAnsistorized DIgital Computer), the machine was ...

The first transistor was about half an inch high. That's mammoth by today's standards, when 7 million transistors can fit on a single computer chip. It was nevertheless an amazing piece of technology.

Transistors became the steppingstone between vacuum tubes and modern computer technology. The year 1971 saw the advent of the first microprocessor: Intel's 4004, incorporating 2,300 transistors and ...

Scientists in the US built the first silicon transistor in 1947 ... “All because we can put a massive computer onto a tiny chip.” The pace of innovation was unprecedented.

The TR-55 wasn’t the first Sony radio to have transistors. The TR-52 was a prototype, but it had case problems and never made it into the hands of the public. The radio didn’t make it to the ...

the other is "field-effect transistor" (FET). Although the first transistor was bipolar and the first silicon chips used bipolar transistors, most chips today use field-effect transistors wired as ...

some six years after Texas Instruments and Regency brought the first transistor radio to market. Designed to be portable, the TV8 featured an eight-inch black and white display complete with an ...

On the other hand, this computer goes all the way back to first principles and implements a complete processor out of individual transistors instead. The transistor computer uses over 2000 ...

I was a UNIVAC computer analyst at Cape Canaveral from Spring 1958 until Autumn 1971. The "Athena" computer was the first all-transistor computer to be manufactured in quantity. It was developed to ...
