	William Bradford Shockley, February 13, 1910—August 12, 1989 \| By John L. Moll \| Biographical Memoirs
		WILLIAM BRADFORD SHOCKLEY was a major participant in the physical discoveries and inventions that are the basis of the transistor era and the twentieth-century electronics industrial revolution.
		Shockley, the mother of William Shockley, had called her from Hollywood to say that her son had received an appointment at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and was planning to drive east with his De Soto convertible.
		Shockley returned to the idea of the field effect transistor, in which an externally applied electric field should, according to his calculations, modulate the current in a germanium filament, much as the grid in a vacuum tube controls the anode current.

		There he and two colleagues, John Bardeen and Walter H. Brattain, produced the first transistor in 1947; for this work they shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956.
		Shockley taught electrical engineering at Stanford Univ. from 1958 to 1975.
		In the late 1960s and 1970s he became the center of controversy when he lectured on his theory that fls were intellectually inferior and, by reproducing faster than whites, were causing a retrogression in human evolution.

	TIME 100: William Shockley
		The transistor was born just before Christmas 1947 when John Bardeen and Walter Brattain, two scientists working for William Shockley at Bell Telephone Laboratories in Murray Hill, N.J., observed that when electrical signals were applied to contacts on a crystal of germanium, the output power was larger than the input.
		Shockley, a very competitive and sometimes infuriating man, was determined to make his imprint on the discovery.
		William Bradford Shockley was born in London, where his father, a mining engineer, and mother, a mineral surveyor, were on a business assignment.
