They electronically switch and amplify signals by harnessing the unique abilities of semiconductor materials. Their invention has transformed the world of electronics and accelerated our entry into the digital age. Behold – the Transistor! I learned a lot while making this installment of the MAKE presents series. here’s a few of the information resources I […]
From the NYCResistor crew comes this action-packed crash-course in capacitors – complete with a cliffhanger ending! Here’s hoping the saga continues with a miniature rescue mission via shrink ray (they must have one in their somewhere, right?) If after that, cap functionality still seems a bit fuzzy, check out this rather helpful little web demonstration […]
Take a tour through the world of the light-emitting diode (LED) and learn who invented it, how to use it, and how to make your own.

This isn’t the sharpest Instructable on the site, but I like the idea that people are starting to see what sorts of useful projects they can do with the innards from dead CF light bulbs (such as, in this case, a step-down DC-DC converter and a Joule thief). Make cool gadgets from a deceased fluorescent […]
