...radio. “Who wants to be a DJ when you can be a VJ?” insinuated the men in space suits driving MTV flags into the moon.In retrospect, The Buggles were a little too quick to blow up that poor girl’s large transistor radio in the video. The Buggles now languish in one-hit-wonder hell, MTV has banned music videos to the outer-most reaches of cable, and if anyone still wants to grow up to be a VJ, one look at Carson Daly should be enough to kill that ambition. Radio...
...high-temperature method that uses heat energy from plasma and a combination of gases to rain carbon atoms on a starter seed of the gem, which gradually grows into a larger single-crystal diamond. CVD produces a more uniform, consistent diamond in sizes large enough to make an effective transistor. Using the diamond it created in its reactors as a "mother seed," Apollo Diamond can now grow wafers that are large enough and of a quality that would make them useful in electronic devices. "You need to make mother seeds that will allow you to control the end product," Linares...
...Twisted Transistor Talk about a blank canvas. This retro FM radio from Dutch studio wouter Geense won't even function until properly adorned. Grab a hanger for the antenna, trinkets for the volume and tuning knobs and drill your own set of holes for the speaker. Then sit back and enjoy the static. woutergeense.nl...

"There is a very emotional attachment to research on cancer or chronic illnesses. It's much more difficult to say, What will the structure of the transistor look like in the next 15 years...
