Libaaxseendheer, Also, the reason we use Silicon has to do with its Chemical Properties. Another Video of why Silicon USE for electronic manufacturing among other things.
Heres what i dont grasp: a circuit board is essentially a platform with a conductive etching that forms an electric path and performs a simple logic gate sequence. How can a wafer many times smaller than a circuit board perform the billions of logic gates?Abti, Libaaxseendheer, watch this two minute video that shows you the first step to making a CHIP. How to make the Silicon Ingot etc.
Get back then we discuss some more. I will take your questions.

Is that what transistors are made of? I'm thinking the fact a transistor has the abilty to conduct and resist.No, to make it conductive or non-conductive Abti. Or whatever the process the design engineers wanted.
There is a concept called Doping. This is Semiconductor manufacturing. They manipulate elements and metals to produce Integrated Circuits.
I can explain some more if you want,

@Schematics I'm about to graduate high school next year and will enrol in computer science after that inshallah.
I already knew how binary works, but nonetheless it's good see increasingly more geeljires head into these fields. BTW how old are you?Basically bro. A transistor can be a switch or amplifier. If it used as a switch, it is used in electronic devices like computers and similar type of devices. It can hold a 1 or 0, 1 for on, 0 for off. So when I am typing letters on the keyboard, each letter is like a number to the transistor in my laptop, it translates those numbers as letter and outputs that information of my screen and your screen.
I googled for you how the computer sees the letters you type. The letter HOPE as an example:
The computer understands only 1 and 0. And each word is a combination of 1s and 0s. I took this in my electronics and digital logic class way back. Fun stuff.

I live in Sweden bro. Universty is free here, the only thing you need to pay for is living cost. You can even take a loan to cover that.Mighty, have you taken college courses while in high school? You know there is something called PSEO in Minnesota. If you live in that state, you can enroll in college provided you qualify and meet the high school credit before you graduate from highschool. You save money and the courses are free at the University or community college. Check with your counselor.
Post Secondary Enrollment Option(PSEO).

@Schematics Very nice to have a researcher here.I am a second year chemical engineering student and hope to work in future with something related to energy. The idea of becoming a researcher does attract me but I have heard taking a phd might not be enjoyable and it isn't for everyone. Did you take a phd and what was your experience? Do you work with a lot of Somalis and do you ever plan to return to the motherland?

Hey wise guy, drop your uni grades
