Abstract

Jack Kilby would have been a hundred years old at the beginning of November this year. In the twentieth century, this American engineer made a major contribution to the realisation of the first integrated circuit. His other inventions have shown how applied physics can transform the world. In 2000, at the age of 76, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics along with two other laureates for his contribution.
