For our 2025 Component Abuse Challenge there have been a set of entries which merely use a component for a purpose it wasn’t quite intended, and another which push misuse of a part into ...
It’s rather amazing how many electronic components you can buy right now are not quite the genuine parts that they are sold ...
The days of cheap transistors are over as TSMC jacks up prices on its most advanced wafers and signals the end of Moore’s Law’s cosy promise of faster and cheaper chips. TSMC, which hoovered up more ...
A Planet Analog article, “2N3904: Why use a 60-year-old transistor?” by Bill Schweber, inspired some interest in this old transistor and how it’s commonly used, and if any uncommon uses might exist.
Transistors, the building blocks of modern electronics, are typically made of silicon. Because it's a semiconductor, this material can control the flow of electricity in a circuit. But silicon has ...
TL;DR: NVIDIA's Blackwell Ultra GB300 GPU, unveiled at Hot Chips 2025, delivers 50% faster AI performance than its predecessor with 20,480 CUDA cores, 5th Gen Tensor Cores, and up to 288GB HBM3E ...

What If the Transistor Was Never Invented?
Even the tiniest of things can have a huge impact on humanity. 3 people dead, suspect in custody after shooting outside Target in Austin, police say Gavin Newsom issues new warning to Donald Trump: ...
What just happened? A team of researchers at MIT, in collaboration with Georgia Tech and the Air Force Research Laboratory, has developed a new method for integrating gallium nitride (GaN) transistors ...
A friend recently sent me an email noting that the classic 2N3904 bipolar transistor was now 60 years old. Since its “birth” was before I got involved with basic electronics, that callout was ...
