Sam Kean
“Sir Isaac Newton famously said that he had achieved everything by standing on the shoulders of giants—the scientific men whose findings he built upon. The same might be said about silicon. After germanium did all the work, silicon became an icon, and germanium was banished to periodic table obscurity.”
Sam Kean, The Disappearing Spoon: And Other True Tales of Madness, Love, and the History of the World from the Periodic Table of the Elements

“It has today occurred to me that an amplifier using semiconductors rather than vacuum is in principle possible.

[Laboratory notebook, 29 Dec 1939.]”
William Shockley
