The roots of solid‐state research at Bell Labs
Physics Today 30 (3), 23–30 (1977);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3037450
The impact of science on industry—and of industry on science—is nowhere better illustrated than by the origins of the solid‐state group at Bell Laboratories, which gave the world the transistor.
Electron microscopy of atoms in crystals
Physics Today 30 (3), 32–40 (1977);
https://doi.org/10.1063/1.3037451
Now we can see atoms in crystals directly by electron microscopy, allowing us to determine structures of both ordered and disordered solids and to study the way atoms cluster around crystal defects.
March Meeting in San Diego
