Felix Bloch (23 October 1905 – 10 September 1983) was a Swiss-American physicist and Nobel physics laureate who worked mainly in the U.S. He and Edward Mills Purcell were awarded the 1952 Nobel Prize for Physics for "their development of new ways and methods for nuclear magnetic precision measurements."
Felix Bloch (born Oct. 23, 1905, Zürich, Switz.—died Sept. 10, 1983, Zürich) was a Swiss-born American physicist who shared (with E.M. Purcell) the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1952 for developing the nuclear magnetic resonance method of measuring the magnetic field of atomic nuclei.

On Hitler's rise to power in 1933, Bloch left Germany. He emigrated to the US in 1935 and accepted a position at Stanford University. In 1952, he was awarded the Nobel prize in physics for his work on nuclear induction and became CERN's first Director-General in October 1954.
October 23, 1905-September 10, 1983. BY ROBERT HOFSTADTER. F ELIX BLOCH was a historic figure in the development of physics in the twentieth century. He was one among the great innovators who first showed that quantum mechanics was a valid instrument for understanding many physical phenomena for which there had been no previous explanation.
Physicist Felix Bloch developed a non-destructive technique for precisely observing and measuring the magnetic properties of nuclear particles. He called his technique “nuclear induction,” but nuclear magnetic resonance ( NMR) soon became the preferred term for the method, which was a notable advance upon an earlier technique developed by ...
