FranceA French physicist who cracked open how magnetism actually works inside solid matter — the kind of insight that doesn't make headlines but reshapes every hard drive and MRI machine built since.
About
Louis Eugène Félix Néel was born in Lyon on 22 November 1904. He spent his career pulling apart the magnetic behavior of solids, the subtle ways atoms align and resist inside materials most people assume are inert. The work was precise, foundational, and invisible to anyone outside the lab. In 1970 the Nobel committee caught up and handed him the Physics prize. He died on 17 November 2000, five days short of his 96th birthday.
