Born in Lemberg (now Lwow or Lviv) on April 18th 1882 Lilienfeld got his Ph.
e., 'the conduction of electricity in an extreme vacuum As a result he built improved X-ray tubes without the usual gas filling which were called Lilienfeld tubes.
He held several US patents on field effect transistors proposing a new idea for a solid state amplifier and predated the work of Shockley, Brattain and Bardeen by nearly 20 years.

  Julius Edgar Lilienfeld - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Julius Edgar Lilienfeld (1881 1963) was born in Germany and emigrated to the USA in 1927.
When the inventors of the first practical transistor, Brattain, Bardeen and Shockley tried to get a patent on their device, most of their claims were rejected due to the Lilienfeld patents.
It is unclear why Lilienfeld did not receive a Nobel Prize for his pioneering work.

Julius Edgar Lilienfeld was born on April 18, 1882 in Lemberg (now Lwow or Lviv, Ukraine), the capital of Galicia, then part of Austro-Hungary, where the population was about 110,000 (in 1880) including 30,000 Jews.
Lilienfeld developed an X-ray tube with a high vacuum by placing an additional filament as an electron source in a carefully chosen tube region (called tandem tube because the two discharge volumes were separated by the cathode).
Julius Edgar Lilienfeld died in Charlotte Amalie in the Virgin Islands on 28 August, 1963 at the age of 82.

The transistor was invented at Bell Laboratories in December 1947 by John Bardeen, Walter Houser Brattain, and William Bradford Shockley, who were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1956.
Ironically, they had set out to manufacture a field-effect transistor (FET) predicted by Julius Edgar Lilienfeld as early as 1925 but eventually discovered current amplification in the point-contact transistor that subsequently evolved to become the bipolar junction transistor (BJT).
In a BJT, an electrical current is fed into the base (B) and modulates the current flow between the other two terminals known as the emitter (E) and collector (C).

 IEEE-USA Today's Engineer
In 1927, Lilienfeld left Germany to escape the rising tide of anti-Semitism, immigrating to the United States.
Shockley believed that the first BTL patent for a solid-state amplifier should be based on the conceptual model of the field-effect that he had developed and that he should be named the inventor.
In the 1920s, Lilienfeld could not have understood the physics of the field-effect semiconductor amplifier, as the quantum theory of solids was still several years away.

 Krauss wins APS award
To a physicist, getting the Julius Edgar Lilienfeld Award for physics is like an actor receiving an Academy Award.
Lawrence Krauss, the chair and Ambrose Swasey Professor of Physics, will receive one of the American Physical Society's highest honors during its annual meeting April 2001 in Washington, D.C. The $10,000 annual prize is awarded for outstanding contributions to physics.
As it is awarded by the physics community to recognize contributions to physics, I feel particularly honored, and also particularly humbled to join the company with the distinguished group of physicists who have previously won the prize," says Krauss.

In a 1998 interview, Sears said he wanted to "turn-on" students to physics, those whom he felt were "tuning out" the subject as early as junior high school.
Just prior to his death, Sears attended a meeting in Atlanta of the American Physical Society where the 1999 Julius Edgar Lilienfeld Prize was presented to Stephen Hawking, University of Cambridge.
Considered the leading scientist of this era, Hawking is a victim of ALS, known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease.

 Krauss first to take trifecta of top physics awards
In his most recent honor, Krauss will receive the 2004 Oersted Medal, recognizing his contributions to the teaching of physics, from the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT).
The Oersted Medal follows Krauss' 2000 Julius Edgar Lilienfeld Prize from the American Physical Society, given for "a most outstanding contribution to physics," and the 2001 Andrew W. Gemant Award from the American Institute of Physics for connecting science and culture.
While renowned physicists such as Freeman Dyson, Steven Weinberg and Stephen Hawking have received one or two of these honors, Krauss is the first to have been awarded all three.
