He invented a "photophone", the predecessor to our fiber optics.  It was a way to transmit information, in the form of sound, over light. In addition, he invented a vacuum jacket that would eventually become the iron lung used in polio cases in the 50s.  He also pioneered into the area of desalinization, "alternative energies" and recycling.  He also invented the concept of metal detectors, using an inductive pickup coil.

The transistor was invented by Julius Edgar Lilienfeld, who was not a Nobel Prize winner.\n\nThe integrated circuit was first created by two scientists working independently: Jack Kilby and Robert Noyce. Jack Kilby co-won the Nobel Prize in 2000, but Robert Noyce has not as of yet won it.\n\nNote to 07_Shelby_GT500: \nWilliam Shockley, John Bardeen and Walter Brattain of Bell labs built the first practical transistor, but they did not invent it.
