The Invention of the Transistor

In December 1947, researchers at Bell Laboratories in the USA achieved a technical miracle: John Bardeen and Walter Brattain developed the first functioning transistor. This small invention revolutionized electronics — it made radios, computers, and cell phones possible in the first place. Without the transistor, there would be no modern chips or microcontrollers —and therefore many products in our range would not exist either!

A little fun fact: the first transistor was as big as a thumb – today, billions of them can fit on a fingernail.
