...Poland, Czechoslovakia and China. If we do not get a proper perspective on the development of science in countries such as China, we shall not be able to act rationally, and will surely suffer a rude awakening in the not too distant future." ¶Bell Labs' Walter H. Brattain (1956 prize-co-inventor of the transistor) said that before World War II the U.S. was "a nation that offered asylum to independent and nonconformist thinking individuals," but after the war the Government went on classifying "anything that might possibly aid an enemy"-a program that discouraged "top scientific...
Nobel Flavor. Last week Classroom began expanding its faculty as well as its audience. Into White's continental ivory lab came the first of seven Nobel prizewinners, Bell Telephone Physicist Walter H. Brattain, for a flawless if slightly baffling discourse on transistors. The other Nobelmen in a second semester devoted to atomic physics: Columbia University's Dr. Polykarp Kusch (March 9), Caltech's Dr. Carl D. Anderson (May 6), Columbia's Dr. Isidor I. Rabi (May 15), Stanford's Dr. Felix Bloch (May 19), the University of California's chancellor, Dr. Glenn T. Seaborg...

...individuals closely linked together by exchanges of ideas and information. The physics prize last week went jointly to three Americans who invented transistors, those specks of educated germanium that do the work of much larger vacuum tubes and have already produced an electronic revolution. The prizemen, Dr. Walter Brattain, Dr. William Shockley and Dr. John Bardeen, did their work in close association at Bell Telephone Laboratories, Murray Hill, N.J., and it would have been wrong to give the whole prize to any one of them...
