Argonne Nobelists

Nobel Prize winner Andrei Abrikosov
NOBELIST – Argonne scientist Alexei Abrikosov shared the 2003 Nobel Prize in Physics for theories about how matter can show bizarre behavior at extremely low temperatures.

Nobel Prize winner Maria Goeppert Mayer
NOBELIST – Argonne scientist Maria Goeppert Mayer shared the 1963 Nobel Prize in physics for her research on the shell model of the atomic nucleus.

Nobel Prize winner Enrico Fermi
NOBELIST– Enrico Fermi was the first director of the "Argonne Lab," which grew into Argonne National Laboratory. In 1938, Fermi won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his "demonstrations of the existence of new radioactive elements produced by neutron irradiation, and for his related discovery of nuclear reactions brought about by slow neutrons."
