		Brattain was conscious of documenting his life and particularly his opinions regarding a proper education, however, he does not leave us much as to his daily life at Whitman College or, for the interest of the museum, his experience of living in the Kirkman House.
		Walter Brattain was most likely spending more time in the Physics department as his days as a student were coming to a close.
		Brattain, John Bardeen, and William Shockley, all research scientists at Bell Telephone Laboratories in Murray Hill, N.J., shared the physics prize for their research in semiconductors and the discovery of the transistor effect in 1947.

		Brattain var lysande experimentell fysiker som kompletterade den mer teoretiskt inriktade Bardeen mycket väl och under slutet av år 1947 lyckades de ta fram det som kom att kallas point-contact transistorn.
		Brattain, till skillnad från Bardeen, stannade dock kvar på Bell Laboratories till sin pensionering 1967 även om han begärde att få bli förflyttad från Shockleys avdelning.
		Efter att Brattain, tillsammans med Bardeen och Shockley, 1956 mottagit nobelpriset i fysik för upptäckten av transistorn flyttade han tillbaka till Washington där han levde fram till sin död 1987, vid en ålder av 85 år.

		The American physicist Walter H. Brattain (1902-1987), a co-inventor of the transistor, devoted much of his life to research on surface states.Although he was born in Amoy, China (February 10, 1902), Walter Houser Brattain spent the early part of his life in the northwest of the United States.
		Brattain's advisor was John T. Tate, and his thesis was on electron impact in mercury vapor.
		Bardeen, Shockley, and Brattain also recount their experiences in their Nobel addresses: John Bardeen, "Semiconductor research leading to the point contact transistor;" William Shockley, "Transistor technology evokes new physics;" and Walter H. Brattain, "Surface properties of semiconductor," all in Nobel Lectures: Physics, 1942-1962 (Amsterdam, 1964).
