Worlds first Transistor.
Invented by a team of physicists at Bell labs, John Bardeen, an American Electrical Engineer and Physicist, physicists Walter Houser Brattain and William Bradford Shockley who were conferred the Nobel Prize in Physics for the inventions and further development of the transistors.
John Bardeen is the only person be awarded the Nobel prize for Physics twice, first for invention of the transistor in 1956 and then for the fundamental theory of conventional Superconductivity (BCS theory) in 1972 shared with two other physicists.
The precursors of the Transistor were the vacuum tubes (triodes). Like many other concepts and inventions of the transistors also have their germination from war time requirements. Transistors were a requirement for the radars during the war time.
Transistors have a huge application in electronics. The transistor became the heart of nearly all electronic devices from radios to computers to pace makers and many more.
So, here is the photo of the mother of nearly all electronic inventions.
