Editing Shirley Ann Jackson (section)

=== AT&T Bell Laboratories ===
Jackson joined the Theoretical Physics Research Department at [[Bell Labs|AT&T Bell Laboratories]] in 1976, examining the fundamental properties of various materials.<ref name="NYTimesBio" /> She began her time at Bell Labs by studying materials to be used in the semiconductor industry.<ref name="BorrellSpeaking" /> She worked in the Scattering and Low Energy Physics Research Department from 1978, and moved to the Solid State and Quantum Physics Research Department in 1988. At Bell Labs, Jackson researched the optical and electronic properties of two-dimensional and quasi-two-dimensional systems.<ref name="diaspora" />

Jackson served on the faculty at [[Rutgers University]] in [[Piscataway Township, New Jersey|Piscataway]] and [[New Brunswick, New Jersey]] from 1991 to 1995, in addition to continuing to consult with Bell Labs on semiconductor theory.<ref name="NYTimesBio" /> Her research during this time focused on the electronic and optical properties of two-dimensional systems.

<!-- This paragraph exists to debunk repeatedly false claims, which will tend to recur in future cycles of Wikipedia edits if not guarded against. -->
<!-- It is not a violation of "no original research" because each statement is directly supported as fact. -->
<!-- It should not be viewed as "citation overkill" because multiple citations are needed to demonstrate the pattern of misinformation in the false claims. -->
<!-- It should not be viewed as "citation overkill" because multiple citations are needed to demonstrate who is truly responsible for each such invention, and to substantiate that the actual timeframe of these inventions predated Jackson's arrival at Bell Labs. -->
<!-- To help reduce the visual impact of "citation overkill", information about these inventions has been "bundled" together in a single footnote. -->
Although some sources claim that Jackson conducted scientific research while working at Bell Laboratories that enabled others to invent the portable fax, touch-tone telephone, solar cells, fiber optic cables, and the technology behind caller ID and call waiting,<ref name="HUnKe" /><ref name="sKf1k" /><ref name="q9u1f" /> Jackson herself makes no such claim.<ref name="DnndB" /> Moreover, these telecommunications advancements significantly predated her arrival at Bell Labs in 1976, with these six specifically enumerated inventions actually occurring by others in the time frame between 1954 and 1970.<ref name="nw6l4" />
