Donald Arthur Glaser

1926–2013

Donald Arthur Glaser (1926–2013) was an American physicist and neurobiologist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1960 for inventing the bubble chamber, a device that revolutionized particle physics by allowing scientists to visualize the tracks of subatomic particles. He later shifted his focus to molecular biology and neuroscience, applying his inventive mind to understanding the visual system and cancer biology. Glaser was known for his interdisciplinary curiosity and his willingness to abandon established fields for new frontiers.
