Rangarira ndima iri pasi apa uye ipapo pindura mubvunzo gare gare mumutauro mumwe chetewo sechikamu:  Nhau: Baba vaHolonyak vaishanda mumugodhi wemarasha. Holonyak ndiye aiva nhengo yokutanga yemhuri yake yokutanga kupinda chikoro. Akamboshanda maawa 30 akatevedzana paIllinois Central Railroad asati aona kuti upenyu hwokushanda zvakaoma handihwo hwaaida uye kuti aizosarudza kuenda kuchikoro panzvimbo pezvo. Maererano naKnight Ridder, "Maserura anodhura uye akavimbika semiconductor anokosha kune vatambi veDVD, vaverengi vebar code uye zvimwe zvigadzirwa zvakawanda vanofanirwa kuvapo kwavo mune imwe nzira duku kune basa rakaoma rinotambudza Downstate vashandi vezvitima makumi emakore apfuura. "Holonyak akawana bachelor's (1950), master's (1951), uye doctoral (1954) madhigirii muinjiniya yemagetsi kubva kuYunivhesiti yeIllinois kuUrbana-Champaign. Holonyak akanga ari mudzidzi wokutanga waJohn Bardeen wePh.D. ikoko; Bardeen, muongorori wepanyama, akanga ari musiki we transistor uyo pakupedzisira akawana mubayiro weNobel nokuda kwebasa iroro uye nokuda kwedzidziso ye superconductivity. Muna 1954 akaenda kuBell Telephone Laboratories, kwaakashanda pazvinhu zvemagetsi zvinoshandisa silicon. Kubva muna 1955 kusvika muna 1957 Holonyak akashanda neU.S. Army Signal Corps. Kubva muna 1957 kusvika muna 1963 aiva musayendisiti paGeneral Electric Company's Advanced Semiconductor Laboratory muSyracuse, kuNew York. Muna 1963, akava purofesa paYunivhesiti yeIllinois, kubva kwaakasiya basa makore makumi mashanu gare gare muna 2013.  Mubvunzo: Nei akasarudza kusashanda panjanji zvakare?
