John Bardeen. Bardeen

This week we’re recognizing IEEE Medal of Honor recipient and two-time Nobel Prize recipient, John Bardeen. Bardeen was one of the Bell Telephone Laboratories researchers responsible for the discovery of the transistor effect and other major advances. He was co-winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1956 and in 1972 for the theory of superconductivity. In 1971 he was awarded the IEEE Medal of Honor for "his profound contributions to the understanding of the conductivity of solids, to the invention of the transistor, and to the microscopic theory of superconductivity."
