Britney Spears is not the first star to juggle the weight of fame and a gift for technical matters. Austrian born film star Hedy Lamarr, famous in the 1930s and '40s, was also a gifted electrical engineer. 

Lamarr was frequently quoted as saying, " Any girl can be glamorous. All you have to do is stand still and look stupid ." She may have played that role on the silver screen, but when it came to real life, Hedy proved that brainpower was everything.

Almost 10 years ago, Britney has proved she has it all, as well:    The Britney Spears Guide to Semiconductor Physics in all its glory or you might just start with the basics.
