The speed of discovery has absolutely no relationship with anything comparable, it is not based on transistor revolution or .com expansion.
We didn't hear a lot of stories about, you know, listening to baseball games on transistor radios on tractors or going with their grandfather to the polo grounds.
He's widely credited with pioneering the color TV that we're familiar with today (and holding a related patent -- number 2920132 -- granted in December of 1953), while also publishing initial technical papers on transistor radios.
ENGADGET: Arthur P. Stern, instrumental in inventing the color television and GPS, passes away
He shared a Nobel Prize with John Bardeen and Walter Brattain for the invention of the transistor and later went on to refine transistor technology, spawning the modern age of semiconductors and of Silicon Valley.
What follows the transistor will, on this reasoning, most likely be just another kind of transistor: one that is not thrown off balance by the uncertainties of quantum physics, but instead uses them.
Having a better-functioning gate also lets more current flow when the transistor is on.
Instead of using light to etch a transistor circuit on a wafer of silicon, they propose to fabricate tiny wires.
Prototypes of the vertical transistor, on the other hand, already have a gate length of 50 nanometres, and it should be possible to make them smaller still.
Last year Hewlett-Packard, along with a team of scientists from UCLA, proved the ability to make a switch that could be turned off and on, like a transistor, out of a single organic molecule called a catenane.

The cheap revolution is a first-order effect of Moore's Law. (Moore's Law predicts the transistor density on silicon chips will double every 18 to 24 months.) For years if you said "Moore's Law, " people presumed you were describing a future of ever more powerful computers.
It avoids the typical binary behavior of transistors, where the transistor is simply turned on or off.
FORBES: MIT Scientists Develop A Chip That Mimics Brain Synapses
Konstantin Likharev, at the State University of New York at Stony Brook, a co-inventor of the single-electron transistor, is working on ways to combine it with conventional transistors to make super-dense memory chips.
Intel will build the parts on its 14 nm tri-gate transistor technology.
The biggest limiting factor until now was transistor size, since each pixel on an LCD screen needs one.
The vertical transistor, however, does not rely on lithography and etching to define its gate length.
Not long after we first met, I found on my doorstep two Fuji apples and an old Grundig transistor radio.
It was on the second patent, the patent for the junction transistor.
On the one hand, it seems the law, at least as it relates to increases in transistor density, will continue to hold for some time.
Although Globalfoundries was not able to bring a FinFET transistor to market as fast as Intel, it has benefited from a decade of work on these 3D structures carried out by IBM and contributed to the Common Platform, which includes Globalfoundries and Samsung as well as IBM.
FORBES: Globalfoundries Pirouettes Around The Process Node Problem
The transistor itself is composed of a single phosphorous-31 isotope, which has been precisely placed on a base of silicon using a Scanning Tunneling Microscope in an ultra-high vacuum chamber.
Robochemistry, the science of applying computerization on a huge scale to drug molecule research, is about where computing was when IBM produced an all-transistor calculator in 1957.
As a child I had spent my evenings at home doing schoolwork, or trying to get a picture on the black and white TV, as a teenager I'd lain in my room fiddling with my yellow transistor radio, waiting for my favourite tunes.
