In any modern-day electrical device—from alarm clocks to phones to computers to televisions—you’ll find a device called a transistor. In fact, you’ll find billions of them. Transistors are the atoms ...

EASTHAMPTON — In a world ruled by the microchip, David Mell’s customers at Viva Tubes crave the soft electric hum and warm audio tone of the old-fashioned analog vacuum tube. Tubes — simple devices ...

We’ve all seen electronic components that have been coaxed into releasing their small amount of Magic Smoke, which of course is what makes the thing work in the first place. But back in the old times, ...

Vacuum tubes are electronic components used to amplify, switch, modify and/or create analog signals by controlling the movement of electrons in low-pressure spaces. These components are used in ...

Mike’s Tube Computer MK3 packs 460 vintage vacuum tubes into a working 8-bit machine that makes computing visible.

For decades, the speed of transistors has been approaching its physical limit. Now, researchers have built a new type of vacuum/air channel electron tube that completely eliminates a fatal flaw that ...

A full line of transfer tubes for building vacuum conveyor systems powered by compressed air to feed hoppers and remove waste is now available from Anver Corp. (Hudson, MA). Anver TT Series Transfer ...
