Part 1 of this article discussed the spark that ignited the commercial semiconductor industry. It was the 1952 Transistor Symposium conducted by Bell Telephone Laboratories (BTL). A book published by BTL called A History of Engineering and Science in the Bell System: Electronics Technology (1925-1975) stated that twenty-six domestic and fourteen foreign transistor licensees of…

Last November, our industry celebrated the 75th anniversary of the announcement by Bell Telephone Labs (BTL) of the transistor’s birth. I knew that many facets of the transistor’s invention would be well covered so I didn’t plan to add an article to this pile because I didn’t feel I had much to improve upon what…

Two new technologies, as well as a new spin on one legacy technology, are coming to the forefront of the U.S. military’s must-have list.


Artificial Intelligence is playing an ever-larger role in the global energy industry, but as it grows its carbon footprint is also growing and threatening to undermine its work
