An SCR topology transmogrifies into BJT two-wire precision current source with a self-resetting fault-current limiter.

Gender-affirming pediatricians don’t offer uncertainty. They offer the confidence of settled science: the young people who enter their clinics are “transgender,” and medical interventions, such as ...

For the Component Abuse Challenge our hacker [Tim Williams] observes that N-P-N reads the same way forwards and backwards, so… what happens if we reverse bias one? (Note: this remark about N-P-N ...

One of the joys of writing up the entries for the 2025 Component Abuse Challenge has come in finding all the different alternative uses for the humble transistor. This building block of all modern ...

This video explains how transistors work as switches and amplifiers in electronic circuits. Transistors control the flow of current and enable signal processing in everything from small devices to ...

The ability to make a very miniature on/off switch changed the world. These tiny switches, known as transistors, make up the basis of all modern computing—they drive your cell phones, your bank ...

When people talk about “bias in the news,” it often comes with a suspicion: the idea that reporters simply repeat what they’ve been told or, worse, intentionally slant the story. The reality is far ...
