[Steven Dufresne] cut open a 2N3055 power transistor to expose the semiconductor material to light. In full sunlight, he was able to produce 500 millivolts and 5.5 milliamps.

You have to pull an extra wire from the sensor’s input voltage to your Arduino’s AREF pin, so you know what the actual voltage at the end of the cable is, so you can estimate the 10-90% range.

Power Supply (5-12V) and External Battery connector The UDOO has been in development for more than a year, and the team says it is "80 percent ready" to deliver the final product.

We have done the vertical power transistor, although we are not at 650V yet”. He emphasised how quickly his firm will be able to turn a Bizen chip design into silicon. “The process is not rocket ...

Researchers have reported a black phosphorus transistor that can be used as an alternative ultra-low power switch. A research team developed a thickness-controlled black phosphorous tunnel field ...

Gallium nitride-based LEDs and power transistors can be made on the same IC, according to scientists from Cornell University and the Polish Academy of Sciences. The trick is to used both sides of the ...
