Invention of TransistorThe transistor was invented in December 1947 at Bell Labs, Murray Hill, New Jersey; the patent application wasn't made until early 1948 and some references incorrectly give the invention date as 1948.The transistor was commercialised in small numbers by 1949 but production difficulties delayed its widespread use until the mid 1950s.In 1956 the Bell Labs team of William Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics; Bardeen went on to win a second physics Nobel in 1972 (for work on superconductivity) - the only person to achieve this feat.
The Nobel Prize in Physics 1956 was awarded jointly to William Bradford Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Houser Brattain for their researches on semiconductors and their discovery of the transistor effect.
