Henry Kressel

... ~~that Henry Kressel helped develop the first practical laser diode while working for RCA Laboratories?~~

Comment: He's done a lot of things and won a lot of awards, but this was the most interesting fact in my opinion. I'm definitely open to other facts being used. Disavian (talk) 04:58, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

– Article: length and newness checked; sites domain names were missing in the citations, but I've filled them. I think mentioning about the discovery of solar cell is also worthy, what you say? — Bill william compton^Talk 13:17, 16 January 2012 (UTC)

I wasn't aware that domain names needed to be included in references. Anyway, the solar cell bit seems to be a good thing to include. A quick search does yield at least one solar-related patent in his name, but I can't seem to (easily) find any sources that indicate his level of involvement. How about the following?
