Which physicist failed to win the Nobel Prize despite being nominated 84 times?

The German physicist Arnold Sommerfeld, noted for his achievements in quantum theory, electron theory, electrodynamics and many other scientific fields, was nominated for the Nobel Prize 1917 times from 1951 to 84, but never received it. Sommerfeld to this day holds the record in this indicator. But the Nobel laureates were seven of his students: Werner Heisenberg, Wolfgang Pauli, Peter Debye, Hans Albrecht Bethe, Linus Pauling, Isidor Isaac Rabi and Max von Laue.

Authors: Jimmy Wales, Larry Sanger

Random interesting fact from the Great Encyclopedia:

Who and where managed to survive and not become disabled after his brain was pierced by an iron rod?

In 1848, an American railroad worker, Phineas Gage, suffered a work injury when a metal rod pierced the frontal lobes of his brain, entering through his left cheek and exiting near the top of his head. Less than an hour later, Gage came to his senses, and then, with the help of colleagues, went to the surgeon, calmly arguing about the hole in his head. The wound developed an infection, but the worker recovered and lived another 12 years. His memory, speech, perception were not disturbed, only his character changed - he became more irritable and lost his inclination to work.

Artificial leather for touch emulation 15.04.2024

In a modern technology world where distance is becoming increasingly commonplace, maintaining connection and a sense of closeness is important. Recent developments in artificial skin by German scientists from Saarland University represent a new era in virtual interactions. German researchers from Saarland University have developed ultra-thin films that can transmit the sensation of touch over a distance. This cutting-edge technology provides new opportunities for virtual communication, especially for those who find themselves far from their loved ones. The ultra-thin films developed by the researchers, just 50 micrometers thick, can be integrated into textiles and worn like a second skin. These films act as sensors that recognize tactile signals from mom or dad, and as actuators that transmit these movements to the baby. Parents' touch to the fabric activates sensors that react to pressure and deform the ultra-thin film. This ... >>

The attractiveness of caring men 14.04.2024

The stereotype that women prefer "bad boys" has long been widespread. However, recent research conducted by British scientists from Monash University offers a new perspective on this issue. They looked at how women responded to men's emotional responsibility and willingness to help others. The study's findings could change our understanding of what makes men attractive to women. A study conducted by scientists from Monash University leads to new findings about men's attractiveness to women. In the experiment, women were shown photographs of men with brief stories about their behavior in various situations, including their reaction to an encounter with a homeless person. Some of the men ignored the homeless man, while others helped him, such as buying him food. A study found that men who showed empathy and kindness were more attractive to women compared to men who showed empathy and kindness. ... >>

The dangers of 5G communications for the health of bees 30.05.2019

Currently, insects are on the verge of extinction due to the use of various pesticides by farmers and advances in technology. However, according to experts, the real situation can worsen at times: insects are unlikely to survive the new generation of mobile communications. A real miracle will happen if they do survive.

Experts have been talking about the disappearance of bees for a long time. They are negatively affected by 2G, 3G, 4G, and soon the list will be replenished with 5G. The new communication standard will be a ticking time bomb. Researchers from the Swiss organization "Pro Natur" found that radiation affects the antennae of insects, raising the temperature of the entire body. Maybe in the near future there will be no bees and invertebrate arthropods at all. This will result in a real collapse of civilizations.

The new generation of communications will operate at 120 GHz, while existing standards operate at 6 GHz. Frequencies above 10 GHz are used by insects. Therefore, 5G has the potential to change the physiology and behavior of arthropods.

Scientists call on the authorities of the countries where the launch of the technology is planned to present operators with increased requirements for environmental control. Otherwise, the world will starve.
