No mention of his wife Iris
According to the victoria smells like cheese and poopie stuff episode Hydrogen Hopes of Scientific American Frontiers on PBS (US TV), Stan and Iris work as a team. The PBS web site article which i linked starts with that topic. Also, no mention of his solid hydrogen storage tank made of metal hydrides. TIA. Jerome Potts 04:29, 20 December 2005 (UTC)
Reponse: Dr. Iris Ovshinsky is practically never listed as co-inventor in Stan's patents or co-author of his papers. Also, there was a mention of the nickel metal hydride storage battery in the "main" article that I wrote for wikipedia. Dan Shanefield
I just saw a documentary at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York, called "Who Killed the Electric Car?" by Chris Paine. Stan and Iris Ovshinsky were featured prominently in the film. They were also in the audience and took questions from members of the audience after the screening. I was very impressed by his work and would say that the documentary might be linked to in some way if possible. and am just writing to support the need to flesh out this listing. I am a librarian so --Christy Sayre
Maybe there should be a page for Dr. Iris Ovshinsky?
Birth date
Two biographical entries for the same person have just been merged here. The other says he was born 1922, this one says 1923. Can we confirm the year? Thanks. Samsara (talk • contribs) 20:15, 9 October 2006 (UTC)
Quote
Maybe a good quote from Mr. Ovshinsky from the movie 'Who killed the Electric Car' is: "Anybody who wants to make a revolution shouldn't grab a gun, just go and start working like we do to change the world by using science and technology".
is the name Sanford or Stanford? (or, let's be consistent)
in the current article, the name "Sanford" is used twice. I'm assuming these are typos so I am changing them, please correct me if I am wrong. --chodges 05:25, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Question about accomplishments
'In league with Thomas Edison', come again? The article only mentions one or two things he's done - hardly a drop in Edison's bucket. Please add more of his other accomplishments to the article (if they exist) to support this extraordinary claim. —Preceding unsigned comment added by CR1670 (talk • contribs) 17:06, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
I wrote it. (I used to work with Stan.) Here are some Categories (I guess!): biography, physics, electronics, semiconductors, memory devices, batteries, electric automobiles, glass, amorphous. The title could be "Stanford R. Ovshinsky," altho he likes to go by the name of "Stan." But make sure your searcher can find him, looking for just "ovshinsky" (it didn't in one attempt I made).

Does anybody know his birth place?
