List of second-generation physicists

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The following is a list of parent-child pairs who were both notable for their contribution in physics. The list is in alphabetical order by the parent's last name.

Four parent-child pairs have been awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics: J. J. and George Paget Thomson (1906, 1937), William H. and Lawrence Bragg (1915), Niels and Aage Bohr (1922,1975), Manne and Kai Siegbahn (1924,1981).[1][2] Marie and Pierre Curie won together the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1903, Marie also won the 1911 Nobel Prize in Chemistry and their daughter Irène and her husband Frédéric Joliot-Curie won together the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1935.[1]
