The first was for the invention of the transistor<< John Bardeen, 82, a two-time Nobel Prize winner who helped develop the transistor, which revolutionized the electronics industry, is dead. Mr. Bardeen, professor emeritus of physics at the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana, died of a heart attack Wednesday at Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.
