He built instruments so precise they could split X-rays into their component wavelengths — and in 1924 the Nobel committee handed him the physics prize for it.
About
Karl Manne Georg Siegbahn was born in Sweden on 3 December 1886. He trained as a physicist and turned his attention to X-rays, then still a young and unruly field. His breakthroughs came in spectroscopy: he developed techniques and apparatus that let him measure X-ray wavelengths with unprecedented accuracy, revealing structure where others saw only blur. The Nobel Prize in Physics arrived in 1924, citing his discoveries and research in X-ray spectroscopy. He continued working until late in life, dying on 26 September 1978 at ninety-one.
