GermanyA German physicist who found a way to measure atomic nuclei with such absurd precision that gamma rays could detect motion slower than a crawl — and won a Nobel at 32 for it.
About
Rudolf Ludwig Mössbauer was born on 31 January 1929 in Germany. Working in physics, he discovered what became known as the Mössbauer effect, a phenomenon that allowed scientists to measure incredibly fine changes in atomic nuclei using gamma-ray absorption. The discovery was fundamental enough that it spawned an entire field: Mössbauer spectroscopy. In 1961, still in his early thirties, he shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with Robert Hofstadter. He died on 14 September 2011.
