William Bradford Shockley
William Bradford Shockley Born February 13, 1910, London, UK- died 1989, Santa Clara, Calif.; with Walter Brattain and John Bardeen, inventor of the transistor in 1947, the 1956 Nobel laureate. Education: BS, physics, California Institute of Technology, 1932; PhD, physics, MIT, 1936. Professional Experience: Bell Telephone Laboratories: member, Technical Staff, 1936- 1942 and 1945-1954, director, Transistor Physics Research Facility, 1954; director of research, Antisubmarine Warfare Operations Research Group, US Navy, 1942-1944; founder, Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory, 1954-1989; Stanford University: lecturer, 1958-1963, Alexander M. Poniatoff Professor of Engineering Science and Applied Science, 1963-1975, professor emeritus, 1975-1989. Honors and Awards: Nobel Prize in physics,1 1956. Co-inventor of the transistor in 1947 with John Bardeen and Walter Brattian, Shockley participated in one of the most important discoveries of the century. They applied for a patent in 1948; this device was described as a germanium “transfer resistance” unit, from which the name “transistor” was derived. Shockley continued his research on the device to create the germanium junction transfer transistor, which was much more reliable than the first unit. From this start he founded Shockley Semiconductor Laboratories in Santa Clara Valley in 1954. After he received the Nobel Prize in 1956, disenchantment with Shockley's management style and his propensity for pure research led to the defection of the “Fairchild Eight” in 1957, and the deterioration of his company. His controversial views on genetics and his racist theories have shocked the society around him, but he has continued his research into “grave world problems.” QUOTATION “The only heritage I can leave to Billy is the feeling of power and joy of responsibility for setting the world right on something.” (Shockley's mother, about her 8-year-old son) BIBLIOGRAPHY Biographical 1 Jointly with John Bardeen and Walter H.

Figuring out a Date Archaeologists Cannot Always Immediately Give a Date for Some Things They Find
Figuring Out a Date Archaeologists cannot always immediately give a date for some things they find. One way archaeologists try to figure out dates is by comparing kinds of materials used to make things. Early people used stone tools. Eventually, people discovered metal, which was better than stone, and they began using that. Archaeologists know that stone was used before metal because they find stone in deeper layers in the stratigraphy. How the ax developed: 1. The first axes were held in the hand. 2. Polished stone axes were used by the earliest farmers to clear land. 3. The first bronze axes copied the stone ones 4. Bronze axes developed to fit in wooden handles. 5. A new development used a loop to hold the ax to the handle. 6. A strong modern ax has a steel head. In the 1940s, there was a revolution in archaeology. An American chemist named Willard Libby discovered a new method for dating objects from the distant past, called radiocarbon, or carbon-14 dating. It is based on the scientific principle that all living things contain a certain amount of radioactive carbon. Once a living thing dies, carbon begins to decay. Scientists know that half of the carbon decays in 5,730 years. Measuring how much radioactive carbon is present in a sample gives a date. This kind of dating can be used for rocks, pottery, and glass. Charcoal is always a good sample for radiocarbon dating.

The Links of Chain of Development of Physics from Past to the Present in a Chronological Order Starting from Thales of Miletus
ISSN (Online) 2393-8021 IARJSET ISSN (Print) 2394-1588 International Advanced Research Journal in Science, Engineering and Technology Vol. 5, Issue 10, October 2018 The Links of Chain of Development of Physics from Past to the Present in a Chronological Order Starting from Thales of Miletus Dr.(Prof.) V.C.A NAIR* Educational Physicist, Research Guide for Physics at Shri J.J.T. University, Rajasthan-333001, India. *[email protected] Abstract: The Research Paper consists mainly of the birth dates of scientists and philosophers Before Christ (BC) and After Death (AD) starting from Thales of Miletus with a brief description of their work and contribution to the development of Physics. The author has taken up some 400 odd scientists and put them in a chronological order. Nobel laureates are considered separately in the same paper. Along with the names of researchers are included few of the scientific events of importance. The entire chain forms a cascade and a ready reference for the reader. The graph at the end shows the recession in the earlier centuries and its transition to renaissance after the 12th century to the present. Keywords: As the contents of the paper mainly consists of names of scientists, the key words are many and hence the same is not given I. INTRODUCTION As the material for the topic is not readily available, it is taken from various sources and the collection and compiling is a Herculean task running into some 20 pages. It is given in 3 parts, Part I, Part II and Part III. In Part I the years are given in Chronological order as per the year of birth of the scientist and accordingly the serial number.

The Glacial World According to Wally
THE GLACIAL WORLD ACCORDING TO WALLY W.S. BROECKER ELDIGO PRESS 2002 THE GLACIAL WORLD ACCORDING TO WALLY W.S. BROECKER LAMONT-DOHERTY EARTH OBSERVATORY OF COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY Palisades, NY 10964 September 1992 Second Revised Edition June 1995 Third Revised Edition August 2002 FOREWORD In 1990 I started a book on glacial climates. I planned four sections, one on indicators, one on clocks, one on records and finally, one on the physics of the system. After completing the first three of these, I got stuck in my attempt to come up with a conceptual view of what might be driving these changes. However, having taught a course on climate change for many years, I know that much of the information one needs is not available in textbook form. Instead, we all depend heavily on reprints. As this proves to be an inefficient route for students interested in learning the basics of our field, I have tried to capture many of these basics in the first three sections of my would-be book. As I realized that it would be several years before I completed this project, I thought it might be useful to the community if I were to make available the three largely completed sections. This was done in 1992. In preparation for use in a short course to be taught at the Geological Society of America in November 2002, I undertook an effort to update the first three sections and the references during the early part of 2002. I encourage purchasers of the book to make as many copies as they wish for use by students and colleagues.
