The transistor is first demonstrated by three physicists John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley at Bell Laboratories #OTD in 1947.
They performed experiments and observed that when two gold point contacts were applied to a crystal of germanium, a signal was produced with the output power greater than the input. William Shockley saw the potential in this, and over the next few months worked to greatly expand the knowledge of semiconductors. via npub1kvnpp3m60derhwpqwc09zhk3ehk48tr6agc6dk9z2vggu9sga28qpxhm73 (npub1kvn…hm73)
