Researchers have discovered a way to grow tiny micrometer-scale tubes from materials that act as catalysts and gas sensors. By making networks of these tubes, the researchers say that they could ...

Do you love Nixie Tubes? Upset that they aren’t really manufactured anymore, and the cost of old ones is rising? Why not make your own? That’s exactly what [Dalibor] of the Czech Republic is up to, ...

In many cases, design decisions lead to hard-to-meet requirements that aren't actually needed for the tubes to perform their intended functions. (Above) Braid-reinforced polyimide tubing such as this ...

Just imagine, if everything that used transistors today was actually powered by beautiful vacuum tubes of old. Control yourselves, steampunkers, this 1942 RCA doc “Electrons on Parade” may blow your ...
