Its lesser size and power compared with electron tubes brings (from 1955) portable radio receivers starting its march through all areas of electronics. The Hungarian-American physicist Peter Carl Goldmark (1906–1977) invents the vinyl record (first published 1952), much less noisy than their predecessors shellac. Thanks to micro-groove (100 ...
Many electronics engineers today specialize in the development and programming of microprocessor-based electronic systems, known as embedded systems. Hybrid specializations such as computer engineering have emerged due to the detailed knowledge of the hardware that is required for working on such systems. [41]

Development of the scientific basis for electrical engineering, using research techniques, intensified during the 19th century. Notable developments early in this century include the work of Georg Ohm , who in 1827 quantified the relationship between the electric current and potential difference in a conductor, Michael Faraday , the discoverer ...
The work of James Maxwell and Heinrich Hertz in the late 19th century gave rise to the field of Electronics. The later inventions of the vacuum tube and the transistor further accelerated the development of Electronics to such an extent that electrical and electronics engineers currently outnumber their colleagues of any other Engineering ...
Praised for its role in the evolution of computing, its value has soared among vintage tech collectors, with models in good condition listed for around $700. 6. Fisher 500-C Stereo Receiver
