As with most revolutionary inventions, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain weren’t seeking to rewrite history. The pair of American physicists were merely aiming to improve telephone calls by developing a smaller electrical device that consumed less power than vacuum tubes.

But 75 years ago, on Dec. 16, 1947, they made a breakthrough that ushered in a new era, one that revolutionized electronics by placing it into the hands of the masses. Their discovery upended nearly every industry and forever changed the way we live.
