Extractions: US physicist, born in Amoy, China, where his father was a teacher. He grew up on a cattle ranch in the State of Washington, and studied at the universities of Oregon and Minnesota. In 1929 he joined Bell Telephone Laboratories, where he worked as a research physicist on the surface properties of semiconductors. With Bardeen and Shockley he developed the point-contact transistor, using a thin germanium crystal. He shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1956. Shockley, William B(radford) Physicist, born in London, England, UK. He studied at the California Institute of Technology and Harvard, began work with Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1936, and became professor of engineering at Stanford in 1963. During World War 2 he directed US research on antisubmarine warfare. In 1947 he helped devise the point-contact transistor. He then devised the junction transistor, which heralded a revolution in radio, TV, and computer circuitry. He shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1956 with John Bardeen and Walter Brattain. In his later years Shockley provoked outrage with his racist comments and sterilization schemes for people of low IQ.

Extractions: William Shockley is best known as the inventor of the junction transistor. For this and other contributions to transistors physics, he received the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics, jointly with his two former colleagues at Bell Telephone Laboratories, John Bardeen and Walter H. Brattain. Shockley was born on 13 February 1910, in London of American parents. Reared in California, he received the B.S. degree at the California lnstitute of Technology in 1932 and the Ph. D. degree at the Massachusetts lnstitute of Technology in 1936. He joined the technical staff at Bell Telephone Laboratories in 1936. During World War II, on leave of absence from Bell, he served as director of research for the Navy's Anti-Submarine Warfare Operations Research Group and as expert consultant for the Office of the Secretary of War. Returning to Bell after the war, he became director of the solid state physics research program, which saw the development of the first experiments on early junction transistors. In 1954, Shockley was named director of transistor physics research at Bell.

Extractions: William Bradford Shockley nació en Londres el 13 de febrero de 1910, aunque sus padres eran norteamericanos y sólo 3 años después de su nacimiento se lo llevaron a vivir a Palo Alto, California. Su padre era un ingeniero y su madre una topógrafa de minas. Considerando que le podrían dar a su hijo una mejor educación en casa, los Shockleys mantuvieron a William sin ir a la escuela hasta que cumplió 8 años. Aunque su educación probaría más tarde ser de excelente nivel, este aislamiento hizo que el pequeño William tuviera muchos problemas para adaptarse a su entorno social. La madre de William le enseñaba matemáticas, y ambos padres le motivaban sus intereses científicos, aunque una influencia particularmente importante para él en esos días fue su vecino Perley A. Ross, que era profesor de física en Stanford. A los 10 años de edad, William visitaba constantemente la casa de Ross, y jugaba con las 2 hijas del profesor. Shockley pasó 2 años en la Academia Militar de Palo Alto antes de ingresar a la Preparatoria de Hollywood en Los Angeles. Durante un corto tiempo asistió también a la Escuela de Entrenamiento de los Angeles, en la que estudió física. Fue ahí que descubrió que tenía un talento innato para esa disciplina: solía encontrar con cierta facilidad formas de resolver problemas que diferían de las soluciones tradicionales que proporcionaban sus maestros. Pese a ser el mejor estudiante de física de su escuela, Shockley se decepcionó al no recibir el premio en esta disciplina al graduarse, pues éste le fue negado por haber tomado clases de física en otra escuela.

Extractions: Shockley, William Bradford 1910-89, American physicist, b. London. He graduated from the California Institute of Technology (B.S., 1932) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Ph.D., 1936). After directing antisubmarine research for the U.S. Navy during World War II, he returned to work at Bell Laboratories. 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 blacks were intellectually inferior and, by reproducing faster than whites, were causing a retrogression in human evolution. Most social scientists took issue with his interpretation of gross intelligence quotient (IQ) scores because he made no allowance for cultural and social influences.

william shockley, nobel WINNER WHO STIRRED RACIAL CONTROVERSY. AuthorBy Mary McGrath, Associated Press Date Tuesday, August 15
http://www.boston.com/globe/search/stories/nobel/1989/1989r.html

Extractions: SAN FRANCISCO By helping to invent the transistor, William Shockley did as much to shape the modern world as Louis Pasteur or Madame Curie, colleagues said. But he died with a reputation tarnished by his controversial racial theories. Mr. Shockley, who shared the 1956 Nobel Prize for physics, died Saturday of prostate cancer at his home on the campus of Stanford University, the university said Sunday. He was 79. He was among the fathers of the electronic age but spent his later years embroiled in controversy over his theory that intelligence is genetically based and that blacks as a group are inferior to whites. "I would say he would have to be compared to people who opened up huge new areas, such as Pasteur or the Salk vaccine," said professor William E. Spicer, Mr. Shockley's friend and colleague for 33 years. "But certainly the controversies he got into later in life made it much more difficult for him to get recognition for his key contribution," said Spicer, a professor of electrical engineering at Stanford.

Extractions: because I am mulling publication of a keen-witted hypothesis on the origin of the universe, a thesis which triumphantly refutes both the Big Bang and Steady State theories. Now, overnight, I have severe reservations about winning the world's applause; though I envision myself crowned by a tipsy wreath of Nobel laurel, I fear the judges may expect me to contribute my scientific genius to the most intelligent woman in America, the chief cashier in Dr. Robert K. Graham's sperm bank. As you are probably aware, five Nobel laureates have volunteered for duty already. Four have swaddled themselves in the protective toga of anonymity; the fifth is William Shockley, proponent of the notion that blacks are genetically inferior to whites. The prospect of a future with a generation of Shockleys in it might make an ad for Alka Seltzer, but it does nothing for me. With all deference to the American hockey team, they were my third greatest Olympic thrill, preceded by Jesse Owens, snubbed by Hitler, Berlin 1936, and the first minute of the second Louis-Schmeling fight, which you will tell me was a professional fandango rather than a knightly quest undertaken in the Olympic spirit of selflessness.

Extractions: William Shockley inventou o transistor de junção em 1948, logo após John Bardeen e Walter Brattain terem inventado o transistor de ponta. Em 1956, os três receberam o prêmio Nobel de Física por esses trabalhos. Shockley era um cidadão problemático. Quando trabalhava no Laboratório Bell desentendeu-se com Bardeen que preferiu romper a parceria e sair do grupo. Ninguém queria Shockley como chefe, por ser arbitrário, nem como colega, por ser picuinha. Bardeen à esquerda, Shockley e Brattain. Em 1973, quando sua carreira científica e empresarial já tinha se esvaído, Shockley resolveu entrar na área de ciências humanas. Melhor seria chamar de ciências desumanas. Criou o termo "disgenia", que seria um mecanismo de degeneração da espécie. Segundo ele, as pessoas geneticamente inferiores costumam ter mais capacidade de fazerem filhos (em termos técnicos, têm mais tesão). Dessa forma, a população de seres de baixa qualidade tenderia a inchar. É claro que, ao se referir a seres inferiores, ele estava pensando em negros e latinos. Nós, portanto. Publicou trabalhos onde afirmava que os negros tinham QI (o famigerado "quociente de inteligência") 15 pontos abaixo dos brancos, em média. Sugeriu que o governo pagasse cada pessoa com QI abaixo de 100 que topasse ser esterilizada. Nessa seara, Shockley estava em boa companhia. O austríaco Konrad Lorentz, inventor de outra idéia de jerico, a chamada "etologia", escreveu um artigo no qual pregava "uma eliminação mais severa de seres humanos moralmente inferiores". Como isso foi escrito em 1942, quando Lorentz pertencia aos quadros do partido nazista alemão, na certa ele se referia aos judeus. Pois pode acreditar: Lorentz também ganhou seu prêmio Nobel (de medicina), em 1973.

http://www.geocities.com/bioelectrochemistry/shockley.htm

Extractions: American engineer and teacher, cowinner (with John Bardeen and Walter H. Brattain) of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1956 for their development of the transistor, a device that largely replaced the bulkier and less-efficient vacuum tube and ushered in the age of microminiature electronics. During the late 1960s Shockley became a figure of some controversy because of his widely debated views on the intellectual differences between races. Shockley was born in London, England, on February 13, 1910. His parents were Americans. Shockley came from a long, aristocratic American line, directly descending from John Alden and Priscilla Mullins from the Mayflower on his father's side. His father, William, was an MIT-trained mining engineer and adventurer, quite capable of staring down bandits at gunpoint on Mongolian railroads, but largely incapable of making a living. Shockley's mother, May Bradford, of Missouri stock, was one of the first women graduates of Stanford University, majoring in art and mathematics. She became the first woman surveyor in Nevada's silver mining territory. William was 24 years older than she; he was in his mid 50s. They married in 1908 and moved to London, where William had contract work. Their only child, William Bradford was born there. When he entered high school, Shockley spent two years at the Palo Alto Military Academy. He then enrolled for a brief time in the Los Angeles Coaching School to study physics. He finished his high school education at Hollywood High, graduating in 1927.

Extractions: The age of micro-electronics is really taken for granted now. We expect microwave ovens and cell-phones. We expect remote controlled appliances and we expect sophisticated monitoring systems on car engines, transport monitoring and radio / TV. Had a few research scientists not delved into semi-conducting materials and developed the transistor, the foundations for much of this would not have been laid.

Extractions: more search options CONTACT: Dawn Levy, News Service: (650) 725-1944, dawnlevy@stanford.edu About 30 colleagues of William Shockley, who came to Stanford in 1963 as a professor of electrical engineering and died in 1989, met Friday at the Center for Integrated Systems (CIS) to honor the co-inventor of the transistor. Shockley was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics for that accomplishment in 1956, but later in his career publicized views on race, intelligence and eugenics that made him a leper among laureates. The group, whose members largely worked in Shockley's startup company before the inventor came to Stanford, has met on and off since 1956 to reminisce about Shockley's role in sparking the information technology revolution. "Shockley is the man who brought silicon to Silicon Valley," said meeting organizer and CIS building designer Jacques Beaudouin. Shockley left Bell Labs in Murray Hill, N.J., in 1955 and headed west, convinced that germanium was not the material of choice for making miniature electrical switches. The material was electrically "leaky" and didn't perform well in heat. Five miles from campus, at 391 San Antonio Road in Mountain View, Shockley established Shockley Semiconductor Laboratory. The site is now home to a furniture store whose sidewalk bears a plaque in part stating: "At this location in 1956, Dr. William Shockley started the first silicon device research and manufacturing company in the valley. The individuals that gathered to work at this site went on to form the pioneering Silicon Valley startup company, Fairchild Semiconductor Corporation, and invent the first practicable integrated circuit."
