Niels Heinrich David Bohr is famous as the father of quantum theory. Bohr's atomic model gave man the first stable model of the atom. In 1922, this scientist received the Nobel Prize in Physics for the discovery of the structure of the atom and nuclear radiation. Au Niels Bohr, son of a worthy father, also won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1975. He received the award jointly with Ben Mottelson and James Rainwater for discovering the relationship between collective motion and particle motion in atomic nuclei.
The Currie family
The Curie family can be said to be a family of authentic researchers. On top of that, Marie Curie is the only woman to have won the Nobel twice—in physics in 1903 and chemistry in 1911. In 1903, husband and wife Pierre Curie, Marie Curie and scientist Henri Becquerel were jointly awarded the Nobel Prize for the discovery of radioactivity. By then, this husband and wife have done a worthy job of getting the second Nobel. They discovered radium and polonium.
But unfortunately Pierre Curie died in an accident in 1906. As a result, in 1911, Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry alone for the discovery of radium and polonium. The next generation was played by the couple's daughter Erin Julio Currie. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1935 for discovering the method of artificially producing radioactive atoms.
This family is again a stick juicy. Because, father-son of this family got the Nobel together, on the same subject! There is no second such event in history. Father William Henry Bragg and son William Lawrence Bragg won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1915 for their contributions to the analysis of the structure of calcium using X-rays. Henry Bragg was 53 years old at the time, and his son Lawrence was only 25 years old. Does Lawrence seem too young to receive a Nobel? In fact, he is the youngest Nobel Prize winner in physics.
Arthur Kornberg received the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology in 1959. He was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize with Severo Ochoa for the discovery of the synthesis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). His son, Roger David Kornberg, received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2006 for his research on the biology of transcription in eukaryotic cells.
Hans von Euler-Schelpin won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1929. He was jointly awarded the Nobel Prize with Arthur Harden for his contribution to the fermentation process of alcohol. Wolf von Euler's father, Hans, was a Nobel-winning chemist, while mother, Astrid Cleve, was a botanist and geologist. Wolff chose physiology and pharmacology as his career path—a combination of his parents' work, it is said.
In 1946, he published a paper on the identification and isolation of a hormone called norepinephrine as a neurotransmitter of the nervous system. In 1970, he was awarded the Nobel Prize for this work along with other works.
Carl Mann Sieben received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1924 for his contributions to X-ray spectroscopy. A worthy successor to his father, son Kai Man Siebon is a pioneer in high-resolution electron spectroscopy. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1981 for his important contribution in this regard.
British physicist JJ Thomson is best known as the discoverer of the electron. But he won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1906 for the discovery of the electrical conductivity of gases. As much as the father is known, the son George Page Thomson is not as well known to many. He was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics jointly with Clinton Davison in 1937 for his experimental proof of the transition of electrons through a nucleus.
