Jack Kilby of TI gets Nobel Prize in Physics Tuesday October 10 6:30 AM ET Russian, Two Americans Share Nobel Physics Prize dailynews.yahoo.com STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Three Russian and American scientists and inventors won the Nobel Physics prize on Tuesday for laying the foundations of modern information technology. The prestigious prize, worth nearly $1 million this year, went to men who paved the way for CD players, mobile telephones and computers, the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences said. Russia's Zhores Alferov of the A.F. Ioffe Physico-Technical Institute in St Petersburg and U.S. scientist Herbert Kroemer of the University of California at Santa Barbara share half the prize, for developing semiconductors with practical uses from cellphones to barcode readers. Jack Kilby of U.S. electronics group Texas Instruments Inc takes the other half of the prize for his part in the invention of the integrated circuit, or computer chip. Alferov is the first Russian Nobel laureate since Mikhail Gorbachev won the peace prize in 1990. The prize is worth nine million Swedish crowns ($916,000) this year. The Nobel prizes, first awarded in 1901, were created by Swedish industrialist Alfred Nobel, the inventor of dynamite, who died in 1896. All the best, Michael
