Tiny Transistors Made Modern World

from The Hyperthesis · host Pheely Chitnelawong, Patrick O'Brien, and Liam Farrell

Join Pheely, Liam, and Patrick as we delve into the now microscopic world of the transistor. We discuss how transistors came to be, starting from a patent by a Canadian physicist and being inspired by their predecessors, the vacuum tube. With the death of Gordon Moore and the end of Moore's law, these technologies are becoming increasingly important to understand and improve upon. Before then, Liam tells us about his experiences at a conference he attended in Italy. We end on a story about the three inventors of the transistor, including some of their dark details.
