Bardeen and Brattain Discover Transistor Principles

John Bardeen and Walter Houser Brattain observed the fundamental principles of the transistor at Bell Labs in New Jersey. This groundbreaking work demonstrated the ability to amplify electrical signals using semiconductor materials, laying the foundation for modern electronic circuits. The transistor's ability to enable smaller and more efficient electronic devices opened new possibilities and paved the way for the electronics revolution in the latter half of the 20th century.
