He became the first American to receive the Nobel Prize in sciences.President Ulysses S. Grant awarded Michelson a special appointment to the U.S. Naval Academy in 1869. During his four years as a midshipman at the Academy, Michelson excelled in optics, heat and climatology as well as drawing. After his graduation in 1873 and two years at sea, he returned to the Academy in 1875 to become an instructor in physics and chemistry until 1879.

From 1879 until 1892 he was chief of General and Experimental Pathology at the Jagiellonian University in Cracow.[1]Adamkiewicz is remembered for his pathological examinations of the central nervous system. His research of the variable vascularity of the spinal cord was an important factor concerning modern clinical vascular surgery. He is credited with describing the major anterior segmental medullary artery, which is now known as the artery of Adamkiewicz.[1

His family relocated to the city of Buenos Aires in 1940, where he graduated from the Marist College of San José (a college preparatory school), the following year. Enrolling at the prestigious University of Buenos Aires, he received a medical degree in 1949 and returned to Saladillo. He married Olga Guillermina Gaddi, with whom he had two children. Practicing medicine, he became affiliated to the centrist Radical Civic Union (UCR) and was elected Vice-President of their local chapter in 1951 and city councilman in 1954. The increasingly autocratic President Juan Perón, the UCR's chief rival, had Peronist Governor Carlos Aloé annul the Saladillo elections within days, however. Armendáriz was returned to the City Council in 1963 and was elected in 1965 to the Argentine Chamber of Deputies (the Lower House of Congress). Known for his quiet, tenacious nature and stoic approach to adversity, Armendáriz became affectionately known as "the titan" to those around him.[1]

A Russian-American pharmacologist, chemist and drug developer.Shulgin is credited with the popularization of MDMA in the late 1970s and early 1980s, especially for psychopharmaceutical use and the treatment of depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. In subsequent years, Shulgin discovered, synthesized, and bioassayed over 230 psychoactive compounds. In 1991 and 1997, he and his wife Ann Shulgin authored the books PiHKAL and TiHKAL on the topic of psychoactive drugs. Shulgin discovered many noteworthy phenethylamines including the 2C* family of which 2C-T-2, 2C-T-7, 2C-E, 2C-I, and 2C-B are most well known. Additionally, Shulgin performed seminal work into the descriptive synthesis of compounds based on the organic compound tryptamine.

A theoretical physicist, formerly at the Landau Institute in Moscow, currently[update] at Princeton University.He is known for a number of basic contributions to quantum field theory, including work on what is now called the 't Hooft-Polyakov monopole in non-abelian gauge theory, independent from Gerard 't Hooft.[1][2][3][4][5][6] His paper Infinite conformal symmetry in two-dimensional quantum field theory, with Alexander Belavin, and Alexander Zamolodchikov, from 1984[4], has classic status.[7] His path integral formulation of string theory had profound and lasting impacts in the conceptual and mathematical understanding of the theory. He also played an important role in elucidating the conceptual framework behind renormalization independent of Kenneth Wilson's Nobel prize winning work.
