View full profile →

James Franck (1882–1964) was a German-born physicist who won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1925 for his work on the Franck-Hertz experiment, which confirmed quantum theory's discrete energy levels. He later fled Nazi Germany, contributed to the Manhattan Project, and famously co-authored the Franck Report urging against the atomic bomb's use on Japan. His career spanned quantum mechanics, photochemistry, and the social responsibility of science.
