El legendario qu\u00edmico, tecn\u00f3logo y fil\u00e1ntropo Gordon Moore falleci\u00f3 el viernes en su casa de Haw\u00e1i a la edad de 94 a\u00f1os. Entre otros logros, cofund\u00f3 la multinacional Intel y acu\u00f1\u00f3 el concepto de “Ley de Moore” (https:\/\/ourworldindata.org\/grapher\/transistors-per-microprocessor<\/a>) en 1965, una predicci\u00f3n de que la potencia inform\u00e1tica aumentar\u00eda exponencialmente porque la cantidad de transistores por microchip se duplicar\u00eda aproximadamente cada dos a\u00f1os. Moore, quien obtuvo su BS en qu\u00edmica en la Universidad de California, Berkeley, y su doctorado, tambi\u00e9n en qu\u00edmica, en el Caltech en 1954, inicialmente se uni\u00f3 al laboratorio del ganador del Premio Nobel William Shockley, uno de los inventores del transistor en la d\u00e9cada de 1940. En lugar de quedarse con Shockley, Moore form\u00f3 parte de los llamados “Ocho traidores”, un grupo de ingenieros que lanzaron Fairchild Semiconductors, una empresa de semiconductores competidora, para luego integrarse a Intel, de la cual fue presidente desde 1975 a 1987. Entre otros honores, fue elegido miembro de la Academia Nacional de Ingenier\u00eda de EEUU en 1976 por sus contribuciones a los dispositivos semiconductores, desde transistores hasta microprocesadores. En 1990, Moore recibi\u00f3 la Medalla Nacional de Tecnolog\u00eda e Innovaci\u00f3n. En 2001, Moore recibi\u00f3 la Medalla de Oro Othmer por sus destacadas contribuciones al progreso de la qu\u00edmica y la ciencia. Moore tambi\u00e9n recibi\u00f3 la Medalla Presidencial de la Libertad, el honor civil m\u00e1s alto de los Estados Unidos, a partir de 2002. En 2003, fue elegido miembro de la Asociaci\u00f3n Estadounidense para el Avance de la Ciencia. Moore recibi\u00f3 la Medalla de Honor IEEE 2008.<\/p>\n

Mr Moore started working on semiconductors in the 1950s and co-founded the Intel Corporation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He famously predicted that computer processing powers would double every year – later revised to every two – an insight known as Moore’s Law.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

That “law” became the bedrock for the computer processor industry and influenced the PC revolution.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Two decades before the computer revolution began, Moore wrote in a paper that integrated circuits would lead “to such wonders as home computers – or at least terminals connected to a central computer – automatic controls for automobiles, and personal portable communications equipment”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

He observed, in the 1965 article, that thanks to technological improvements the number of transistors on microchips had roughly doubled every year since integrated circuits were invented a few years earlier.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

His prediction that this would continue became known as Moore’s Law, and it helped push chipmakers to target their research to make this come true.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
After Moore’s article was published, memory chips became more efficient and less expensive at an exponential rate.<\/div>\n

\n
\n

After earning his PhD, Moore joined the Fairchild Semiconductor laboratory which manufactured commercially viable transistors and integrated circuits.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The expansion of that company lay the groundwork for the transformation of the peninsula of land south of San Francisco into what is now known as Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In 1968 Moore and Robert Noyce left Fairchild to start Intel.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Moore’s work helped drive significant technological progress around the world and allowed for the advent of personal computers and Apple, Facebook and Google.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“All I was trying to do was get that message across, that by putting more and more stuff on a chip we were going to make all electronics cheaper,” Moore said in a 2008 interview.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

The Intel Corporation paid tribute to its co-founder,\u00a0saying in a tweet:<\/a>\u00a0“we lost a visionary”.<\/p>\n

\n
\n

Intel’s current CEO Pat Gelsinger said Gordon Moore had defined the technology industry through his insight and vision, and inspired technologists and entrepreneurs across the decades.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“He leaves behind a legacy that changed the lives of every person on the planet. His memory will live on.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“I am humbled to have known him,” Mr Gelsinger\u00a0said in a tweet<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Moore dedicated his later life to philanthropy, after starting a foundation with his wife Betty that focussed on environmental causes, known as the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Among those causes included protecting the Amazon River basin and salmon streams in the US, Canada and Russia.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

“Those of us who have met and worked with Gordon will forever be inspired by his wisdom, humility and generosity,” the foundation’s president Harvey Fineberg said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

In 2002, Moore received the Medal of Freedom – the highest civilian honour in the US – from President George W Bush.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
