The magneto is designed to produce a high voltage ... to detect a spinning magnet on the crankshaft for timing, and a transistor and battery to fire the spark plugs for ignition.

Many people giving talks had complained about the current germanium transistors -- they had a bad habit of not working at high temperatures. Silicon, since it's right above germanium on the ...

The first transistor was about half an inch high. That's mammoth by today's standards, when 7 million transistors can fit on a single computer chip. It was nevertheless an amazing piece of technology.

Magneto was introduced as the original antagonist of the X-Men, in 1963's X-Men #1; over time, he has come to be depicted as one of the most powerful, and most morally complex, mutant characters ...

The magneto is designed to produce a high voltage ... to detect a spinning magnet on the crankshaft for timing, and a transistor and battery to fire the spark plugs for ignition.

Know him, love (or hate) him, but many can never get enough of him. One of the most powerful mutants to ever live, Magneto has been a fan favorite from his inception and is still considered one of ...

After an exhaustive review of suspect transistors in NASA's Europa Clipper spacecraft, NASA managers have cleared the probe for launch next month as planned on a $5.2 billion mission to find out ...

Perhaps no name in the world of comic books commands such fear and respect as Magneto. The Marvel Comics anti-hero has been creating chaos with his enhanced mutant abilities since his first ...

The idea of an optical transistor — and the associated optical logic circuits that may follow — conjures images of light controlling light in some sparkling, transparent computer. This dream ...

An earlier removable, rewritable optical disk that also used magnetic technology. Introduced in 1985, magneto-optic (MO) media and drives are no longer manufactured. Refurbished drives and media ...

Transistors are small, versatile semiconductor devices designed to switch or amplify electronic signals and power. Almost all electronic devices today contain one or more transistors. Some transistors ...

In X-Men: From The Ashes, the X-Men monthly book by Jed MacKay and Ryan Stegman book, are comprised of Cyclops, Beast, Magneto, Psylocke, Kid Omega, Temper, Magik and Juggernaut. We had previously ...
