William Bradford Shockley

PREUSMJERI Predložak:Infookvir znanstvenik

William Bradford Shockley (London, 13. veljače 1910. - Stanford, 12. kolovoza 1989.), američki fizičar i izumitelj. U suradnji s Johnom Bardeenom i Walterom Houserom Brattainom, Shockley je izumio tranzistor, za kojeg su sva trojica nagrađena Nobelovom nagradom za fiziku 1956.

Shockleyjevi pokušaji komercijalizacije novog dizajna tranzistora 1950-ih i 1960-ih dovela su do postanka Silicijske doline u kolijevku elektroničkih inovacija. U kasnijem razdoblju života, Shockley je predavao kao profesor na Stanford Universityju i postao snažan zagovaratelj eugenike.^[1]
