Quotes

  • “A certain ounce of arrogance is not essential in carrying forward an idea. In talking about the device with others, surprising now number of people who either were quite negative and had reasons to suggest it would not function as described or claimed that it would be of little interest and no better than some already existing device.”

Willard Sterling Boyle (Amherst, 19 de agosto de 1924 — Wallace, 7 de maio de 2011) foi um físico canadense. Inventou o Dispositivo de Carga Acoplado (CCD), juntamente com George Smith. Serviu a marinha canadense durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, porém não participou no conflito. Bacharel em 1947, mestre em 1948 e doutor em 1950, pela Universidade McGill. Após o doutorado trabalhou um ano no "Canada's Radiation Lab", e lecionou dois anos no Royal Military College of Canada. Em 1953 começou a trabalhar no Bell Labs onde, juntamente com Don Nelson, aperfeiçoou o Laser a rubi. Foi um dos patenteadores do Laser díodo. Em 1962 foi diretor do Space Science and Exploratory Studies, e trabalhou no Projeto Apollo. Retornou ao Bell Labs, a fim de trabalhar no desenvolvimento de circuitos integrados. Em 1969 inventou o CCD, sendo agraciado em 1973, juntamente com George Smith, com a medalha Stuart Ballantine do Instituto Franklin. Recebeu o IEEE Morris N. Liebmann Memorial Award no ano seguinte, e em 2006 o Prêmio Charles Stark Draper. Foi agraciado com o Nobel de Física de 2009, juntamente com George Smith. De 1975 até aposentar-se, em 1979, foi diretor executivo do "Research for Bell Labs". Em seguida retornou à Nova Escócia, atuando no Research Council do "Canadian Institute of Advanced Research" e do "Science Council of the Province of Nova Scotia".
