John Bardeen ForMemRS / bɑːrˈdiːn /; May 23, 1908 – January 30, 1991) [2] was an American physicist and electrical engineer.
Biographical. J ohn Bardeen was born in Madison, Wisconsin, on May 23, 1908, son of Dr. Charles R. Bardeen, and Althea Harmer. Dr. Bardeen was Professor of Anatomy, and Dean of the Medical School of the University of Wisconsin at Madison.
John Bardeen was an American physicist who was co-winner of the Nobel Prize for Physics in both 1956 and 1972. He shared the 1956 prize with William B. Shockley and Walter H. Brattain for their joint invention of the transistor.
The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded in 1956 to John Bardeen, Walter H. Brattain, and William Shockley for “investigations on semiconductors and the discovery of the transistor effect,” carried on at the Bell Telephone Laboratories. In 1957, Bardeen and two colleagues, L.N. Cooper and J.R. Schrieffer, proposed the first successful ...
Feb 1, 2003 · Although many outstanding scientists are known for their outgoing dynamic personalities, John Bardeen, one of the most creative scientists of the 20th century, was a modest and quiet man. Yet he received two Nobel prizes in physics—one for the transistor (which revolutionized computers and communications) and one for the theory of ...
The answer may rest in the story of John Bardeen. John Bardeen was the first person to have been awarded two Nobel Prizes in the same field. He shared one with William Shockley and Walter Brattain for the invention of the transistor.
When certain metals are cooled to extremely low temperatures, they become superconductors, conducting electrical current entirely without resistance. Based on quantum mechanics, John Bardeen, Leon Cooper, and Robert Schrieffer formulated a theory for the phenomenon in 1957.
Nov 1, 2011 · John Bardeen worked on the theory of solids throughout his physics career, winning two Nobel Prizes: the first in 1956 for the invention of the transistor with Walter Brattain and William Shockley; and the second in 1972 for the development with Leon Cooper and J Robert Schrieffer of the Bardeen–Cooper–Schrieffer (BCS) theory of ...
John Bardeen . Nobel Prize in Physics 1956 together with William B. Shockley and Walter H. Brattain "for their researches on semiconductors and their discovery of the transistor effect". John Bardeen occupies a unique place in the pantheon of Nobel Prize Laureates.
May 1, 2003 · John Bardeen, the inventor of the transistor and leader of the team that developed the microscopic theory of superconductivity, possessed all of these qualities. But what made him different from so many fellow scientific geniuses of the 20th century – Bohr, Dirac, Einstein, Feynman, Gell-Mann, Landau, Oppenheimer and Pauli?
