Felix Bloch (23 October 1905 – 10 September 1983) was a Swiss-American physicist and Nobel physics laureate who worked mainly in the U.S. He and Edward Mills Purcell were awarded the 1952 Nobel Prize for Physics for "their development of new ways and methods for nuclear magnetic precision measurements."
Felix Bloch was a Swiss-born physicist who made groundbreaking contributions to quantum mechanics, nuclear magnetism, and superconductivity. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1952 for his discovery of the nuclear moment of the neutron.
Felix Bloch was a Swiss-born American physicist who shared (with E.M. Purcell) the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1952 for developing the nuclear magnetic resonance method of measuring the magnetic field of atomic nuclei. Bloch’s doctoral dissertation (University of Leipzig, 1928) promulgated a quantum.
Felix Bloch was a Swiss-born American physicist who developed methods for nuclear magnetic precision measurements and discovered new phenomena in connection therewith. He worked on atomic energy, radar and CERN after the war and shared the Nobel Prize with Edward Purcell.
On Hitler's rise to power in 1933, Bloch left Germany. He emigrated to the US in 1935 and accepted a position at Stanford University. In 1952, he was awarded the Nobel prize in physics for his work on nuclear induction and became CERN's first Director-General in October 1954.
Felix Bloch. Stanford's first Nobel Prize, namesake of the original and new Bloch Lecture Hall, Hewlett room 201. Born 1905, joined Stanford faculty 1934, emeritus 1971. Served for one year as the first Director-General of CERN in Geneva, 1954.
F ELIX BLOCH was a historic figure in the development of physics in the twentieth century. He was one among the great innovators who first showed that quantum mechanics was a valid instrument for understanding many physical phenomena for which there had been no previous explanation.
