List of Jewish Scientists (Detailed)

1, Leo Davidovic Landau (Russian: левдави? довичЛанда? у, English: Lev Davidovich Landau, 1 90865438+1October 22nd-1968April1), a Soviet physicist, is known as the last all-round physicist in the world.

1962 won the nobel prize in physics for his research on liquid helium theory. Landau was unable to go abroad to receive the prize due to physical reasons. As a result, the Nobel Prize Foundation broke the convention. For the first time in history, the Landau Prize, the highest honor in physics research, was awarded by the Swedish ambassador to Moscow, not by the king.

2. edward tylor (formerly known as Taylor Eide, Hungary, 0908 65438+ 15 10-September 9, 2003), male, a famous theoretical physicist in the United States, was born in Hungary and has been teaching at the University of California, Berkeley, University of Chicago and other universities for a long time.

Taylor immigrated to the United States in the 1930' s, became an early member of the Manhattan Project and participated in the development of the first atomic bomb. During this period, he was also keen to promote the research and development of the earliest nuclear fusion weapons, but these ideas were not realized until after the end of World War II.

After World War II, at the hearing of Robert Oppenheimer's background investigation, Taylor provided some controversial testimony to his former colleagues at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Since then, he has become unpopular in the scientific community, but he continues to seek assistance from the US government and military research institutions.

3. Julius Robert Oppenheimer (1April 22, 904-1February 18, 0967), male, a famous American Jewish physicist, the leader of the Manhattan Project, and a professor of physics at the University of California, Berkeley, USA, is known as the "father of the atomic bomb" of mankind.

1February 196718th, Oppenheimer died of throat cancer in Princeton, New Jersey, USA, at the age of 62. From June 5th, 2006 to February, 2006, Oppenheimer ranked 48th in the list of 100 people who influenced the United States selected by the famous American magazine Atlantic.

4. Theodore von Kármán (Theodore von Kármán, formerly known as Szol-loskislaki Kármán Tódor,1881may1963may6), a Hungarian Jew, 1936.

5. Albert Einstein (German/English: Albert Einstein; 1March 87914-1April 955 18), born in Ulm, Baden-Wü rttemberg, Germany, is a modern physicist.

Einstein's theory laid a theoretical foundation for the development of nuclear energy. In order to help fight against the Nazis, he wrote a letter to President franklin roosevelt with the help of Leo Szilard and others, which directly contributed to the start of the Manhattan Project.

After World War II, he actively advocated peace and opposed the use of nuclear weapons, and signed the Russell-Einstein Declaration. Einstein initiated a new era of modern science and technology and was recognized as the greatest physicist after Galileo and Newton.
