[ 5 ] As director of Space Science and Exploratory Studies at Bellcomm he helped select lunar landing sites and provided support for the Apollo space program .
George E. Smith shared the 2009 Nobel Prize in Physics with Willard Boyle for "the invention of an imaging semiconductor circuit—the CCD sensor, which has become an electronic eye in almost all areas of photography". [17] Gil Amelio: Amelio was on the team that demonstrated the first working charge-coupled device (CCD).
2009 Nobel Prize in Physics laureates George E. Smith and Willard Boyle, 2009, photographed on a Nikon D80, which uses a CCD sensor. The basis for the CCD is the metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) structure, [2] with MOS capacitors being the basic building blocks of a CCD, [1] [3] and a depleted MOS structure used as the photodetector in early CCD devices.

In 1962, Willard Boyle, working at Bell Labs, produced the first continuous output from a ruby laser. Unlike the usual side-pumping method, the light from a mercury arc lamp was pumped into the end of a very small rod, to achieve the necessary population inversion.
Jun. 2—On the Facebook last week there was a lot of discussion about "the rag man" who used to drive up and down the streets of Plymouth picking up rags that people would want to discard.
Boyle had owned and operated Toyota of Portsmouth — which is prominently located off the Route 1 Bypass — since September 2001, he said Monday morning. “I’m not getting any younger.
“You’re like Susan Boyle’s grandson, because what you do is not what we expect,” Cowell proclaimed, referring to the BGT runner-up opera singer whose “I Dreamed a Dream” performance ...
