The transistor is used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power, and is said to be one of the most important inventions of the 20th century. The transistor was invented by the American physicists John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley. They later went on to win the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics.
