James Chadwick was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1935 for his discovery of the neutron. The neutron is a subatomic particle found in the nucleus of an atom and it has no electric charge.
Albert Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his discovery of the photoelectric effect and his contributions to theoretical physics, particularly the development of the theory of relativity.
J.J. Thomson was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1906 for his discovery of the electron. He received one Nobel Prize during his lifetime.
No Noble prize in physics was awarded in 1916. If there is no work or advance deemed important by the Nobel Foundation, then there no prize is awarded. This was why no prize was awarded in 1916.
Emilio Gino Segr won The Nobel Prize in Physics in 1959.
Enrico Fermi won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1938 for his work on induced radioactivity, where he discovered that materials could become radioactive when bombarded with neutrons. This discovery laid the foundation for the development of nuclear reactors and the atomic bomb.
C. V. Raman was awarded the Nobel Prize for his work on the scattering of light and for the discovery of the Raman effect.
When the Nobel Prize was awarded, she had already died of cancer, and the Nobel Prize is not awarded posthumously.
Sir Alexander Fleming was never awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. But he was awarded, jointly with Florey and Chain, the 1945 Nobel Prize for Physiology and Medicine.
James Chadwick discovered neutrons in 1932.
Marie Curie was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1911 for her discovery of the radioactive elements polonium and radium.
The Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1944 was awarded to Otto Hahn for his discovery of the fission of heavy nuclei.
Albert Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921 for his discovery of the photoelectric effect and his contributions to theoretical physics, particularly the development of the theory of relativity.
J.J. Thomson was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1906 for his discovery of the electron. He received one Nobel Prize during his lifetime.
George F. Smoot won The Nobel Prize in Physics in 2006.
Marie Curie's daughter, Irène Joliot-Curie, was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935 along with her husband, Frédéric Joliot-Curie, for their discovery of artificial radioactivity.
No Noble prize in physics was awarded in 1916. If there is no work or advance deemed important by the Nobel Foundation, then there no prize is awarded. This was why no prize was awarded in 1916.
Rosalind Franklin passed away before the Nobel Prize was awarded for the discovery of the DNA structure. Additionally, the Nobel Prize is limited to a maximum of three recipients, so Watson, Crick, and Wilkins were awarded the prize for their work on DNA structure.
