Physics 1906
"in recognition of the great
merits of his theoretical and
experimental investigations on
the conduction of electricity by
gases"

"for his contributions to our
knowledge of the chemistry of
radioactive substances, and his
investigations into the origin
and nature of isotopes"
|
|
Francis William
Aston - Nobel Prize for
Chemistry 1922
"for his discovery, by means of
his mass spectrograph, of
