Source sentences:
text: A transistor small enough to operate with only one electron would be phenomenally small, yet it is theoretically possible.
text: Its advantage over Vacuum tubes was imminent, it had no heater element, required less power to operate, it was small and light weight, it required no warming up.
text: At that point, transistors are so small that quantum effects prevent them from working properly.
text: Because each transistor is small, the amount of charge needed to control it is also small.
text: The transistor is small and uses much, much less power than the vacuum tube.
text: Compared to tubes, transistors are small, cheap and lightweight—they're also durable and insensitive to vibration or shock.
