Miniature M-1 Transistors 1956
Picture dated 1956 of miniature M-1 transistors seen on the face of a ten-cent piece, the smallest yet developed. The worlds first transistor was invented in 1947 by US scientists William Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain, members of the technical staff at Bell Laboratories, and was successfully tested 24 December 1947. They were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1956. / AFP PHOTO / -
