The 1970s witnessed an explosion in the understanding of solid-state physics, driven by the development of the integrated circuit and the laser. The evolution of the computer produced an interesting duality in the physical sciences at this period — analogue recording technology had reached its peak and was incredibly sophisticated.
By 1960, magnetic core was the dominant memory technology, although there were still some new machines using drums and delay lines during the 1960s. Magnetic thin film and rod memory were used on some second-generation machines, but advances in core technology meant they remained niche players until semiconductor memory displaced both core and ...
1960: The first functioning laser is invented by Theodore Maiman. 1963: The first electronic cigarette is created by Herbert A. Gilbert. Hon Lik is often credited with its invention as he developed the modern electronic cigarette and was the first to commercialize it.
A military invention is an invention that was first created by a military. ... 1960s United States. Soviet Union. ... 1960s - 1970s United States [4]
From the first Apple computer to the COVID-19 vaccine, here are the most revolutionary inventions that were born in the U.S.A. in the past half-century.
Oct 1970: US First dynamic RAM chip introduced by Intel. It was called the 1103 and had a capacity of 1 Kbit, 1024 bits. 1970: US Programming language Forth developed. A simple, clean, stack-based design, which later inspired PostScript and the Java virtual machine. 1971: US CTC ships the Datapoint 2200, a mass-produced programmable terminal.
The first planar monolithic integrated circuit (IC) chip was demonstrated in 1960. The idea of integrating electronic circuits into a single device was born when the German physicist and engineer Werner Jacobi developed and patented the first known integrated transistor amplifier in 1949 and the British radio engineer Geoffrey Dummer proposed to integrate a variety of standard electronic ...
