Ernest Lawrence invented the cyclotron, for which he was awarded the 1939 Nobel Prize in Physics. Cyclotrons in his laboratories were used to discover a large number of new chemical elements and isotopes - millions of lives have been saved using these radioisotopes.
Ernest Lawrence (August 8, 1901–August 27, 1958) was an American physicist who invented the cyclotron, a device used to accelerate charged particles in a spiral pattern with the help of a magnetic field. The cyclotron and its successors have been integral to the field of high-energy physics.
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) is the namesake and legacy of its founder, Ernest Orlando Lawrence (E.O. Lawrence), winner of the 1939 Nobel Prize for Physics for his invention of the cyclotron.
Lawrence was a leader in bringing the daring of science to technology, in wedding science to the general welfare, and in integrating science into national policy. Lawrence was born in Canton, South Dakota, on August 8, 1901, the son of educated Norwegian immigrants.
