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.

Sony launched the world's first non-projection, fully transistorized television, the TV8-301, in May 1960, about six years after Texas Instruments and Regency introduced the first transistor ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
