What is the meaning of "he is the only person to have won two Nobel prizes in a Scientific field"? Perhaps a translation error?
Is Chemistry not a "Scientific field"? If it is, then Marie Curie and Frederick Sanger both also have two "Scientific" Nobels.
I plan to edit to something like "He is one of only three people, the others being Marie Curie and Frederick Sanger, to have won two Nobel prizes in scientific fields, and the only person to have won two Nobels in physics."

Hi, added a quote from Bardeen's first postdoctoral student, Ted Poppelbaum, who settled at UIUC and became a professor in the CS dept. Bardeen was a very unassuming man, not good at taking credit for himself, and in CU he was known to more people for throwing great cookouts than for having invented the transistor.

I've just learned of Dr. Bardeen's contribution to yet another topic area in physics: black holes.https://projecteuclid.org/euclid.cmp/1103858973I think this should be added to the text. But I don't feel qualified to add the material.
The biography of John Bardeen is good. However, this biography should be improved. This biography should be one of the best biographies on Wikipedia.Masterpiece200008:26, 27 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Whats that line "Hi Im bored" doing there?? --203.199.213.1615:44, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have added many useful stuff in the biography. However, more improvement in needed. Other users are invited to contribute.Masterpiece2000 (talk)03:30, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I question whether the image of John Bardeen is, in fact, in the public domain.
The justification says that it's a work of Fermilab (i.e. US govt agency and therefore public domain). The picture has simply been lifted from a 2003 Fermilab page: that doesn't prove they created it.
In fact, the image appears (possibly for the first time) on the 1972 Nobel Prize citation:http://nobelprize.org/nobel_prizes/physics/laureates/1972/
I assume it was created in 1972, possibly by the Nobel Foundation. If so, it's a copyright image owned by Nobel.

I've now checked this out a bit more. The image is *not* public domain, so far as I can tell. I believe it is (C) Nobel Foundation 1972. See this page:http://nobelprize.org/nobelweb/terms_use.html"...permission from the Nobel Foundation, and in certain cases from the photographer, is required.If permission is granted "© The Nobel Foundation" and the photographer must be indicated."

I've now marked the image for speedy deletion on Wikimedia Commons so it will probably disappear in due course.82.71.0.229 (talk)09:03, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
BCS theory for superconductivity is as much important as transistor and semiconductors.Superconductivity shouldn't be reduced to something that is used in MRI imaging.— Precedingunsigned comment added by131.212.213.122 (talk)01:39, 8 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted misinformation about 1st PhD student of Bardeen at UI. Perhaps the error was propagated from Holonyak's page, where "there" is ambiguous. It denotes the Dept of EE, but John Bardeen had a Physics Dept PhD student before that, namely Paul Leurgans, in 1952. The1950s physics PhD students of him are: Leurgans (1952), Mattis (1957), Schrieffer (1957), Millea (1958), Valenta (1958), Arnold (1959), and Portnoy (1959).Cuzkatzimhut (talk)13:56, 10 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
In the entire second paragraph of the Personal Life section, there is only a single citation to an article that doesn't seem to exist anymore. I have heard the stories about John Bardeen orally before, but am having trouble trying to locate reliable/trustworthy sources that back up the claims in the article. I found one article, but it lacks any further citations:
https://paw.princeton.edu/article/rally-round-cannon-52"...he leaned toward golf, picnics, and cookouts for the neighbors. He loved his hamburger buns toasted, and always asked if the guests wanted them that way."
Does anybody know of where these claims came from?Monsternikes (talk)22:52, 7 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
