I have always been interested in electronics engineering ingenuity used to solve “impossible” problems. One such problem was the task of deciphering the German Army's most secret transmissions during ...

It’s best to admit upfront that vacuum tubes can be baffling to some of the younger generation of engineers. Yes, we get how electron flow from cathode to anode can be controlled with a grid, and how ...

In a few museums around the world, there lies the special experience of seeing some of the earliest computers. These room-filling monsters have multiple racks of vacuum tubes that are kept working by ...

In the 21 st century, it is all too easy to take today’s powerful microcomputers for granted, and as artificial intelligence continues to make inroads, the assumption is that massive amounts of data ...

Researchers have developed a vacuum tube prototype that is both fast and tough against radiation, making it ideal for computers in space. Researchers have developed a vacuum tube prototype that is ...
