Review
Hans Queisser, physicist, joined Nobel Prize-winner William Shockley in 1959 in an old barn amid fruit orchards in Mountain View, California, to begin a new technology. The area is now the seat of an industrial empire--Silicon Valley. Today a professor looking back, Queisser presents an insider's view of the microchip revolution that has forever changed world technology and rightly emphasizes that whoever can better manipulate the atoms in crystals can control modern technology.
Synopsis
Looks at the history of the transistor, explains the importance of crystal research, and describes the future of microelectronics.
