The Nobel Prize in
Physics
Many of the features that
highlight our quest to understand our fascinating world and
the universe are reflected in the Nobel Prizes in Physics.
The first prize in 1901 was awarded to Wilhelm Röntgen, for
his discovery of X-rays. In more recent years, the Prize has
been awarded for discoveries and achievements in
communication technology, cosmic radiation, superfluidity,
and the structure of matter, to cite just a few examples.
