When Andy Kessler named Jack Kilby of Texas Instruments the inventor of the integrated circuit, a collective groan boomed out of Intel headquarters in Santa Clara, rolled across the Stanford campus ...

You’re probably familiar with the little black boxes nestled neatly inside your favorite devices. With their diminutive size and unassuming characteristics, it can be hard to believe these vessels are ...

The concept behind an integrated chip is relatively simple: an entire electrical circuit with numerous transistors, wires, and other electrical devices all built into a single square of silicon. These ...

Inside the races that jump-started the self-driving car Self-driving cars aren't just here. They are, it seems safe to say, just about everywhere---roaming the streets of San Francisco, New York City, ...

A man in the same league with Thomas Edison, the Wright Brothers and Alexander Graham Bell was born in Jefferson City. Yet this man, Jack St. Clair Kilby, is not familiar to most. His invention, the ...
