Radio Corporation of America Miniature Transistor
Picture dated 15 December 1953 showing a miniature transistor, developed by the Radio Corporation of America. 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 / -

Close Up Model Photo Noir Et Blanc Technology Radio Science And Technology Transistor
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the groundbreaking moment in history when the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) unveiled their miniature transistor on 15 December 1953. This technological marvel, a result of years of research and development, marked a significant milestone in the field of electronics. The transistor itself was not a new invention; it was first created by US scientists William Shockley, John Bardeen, and Walter Brattain at Bell Laboratories in 1947. However, RCA's miniature version showcased here revolutionized the industry with its compact size and enhanced capabilities. Captured in close-up detail, this image showcases the intricate design and craftsmanship behind this pioneering creation. The tiny yet powerful device symbolizes human ingenuity and our relentless pursuit of progress. It is worth noting that Shockley, Bardeen, and Brattain were recognized for their groundbreaking work with transistors when they were awarded the Nobel Prize in physics in 1956. Their invention laid the foundation for modern technology as we know it today. As we gaze upon this remarkable photograph from Agence France-Presse (AFP), we are reminded of how far we have come since that fateful day in 1947 when these brilliant minds forever changed our world through science and innovation.
