Clifford Shull was a renowned U.S. physicist and Nobel Laureate born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He attended school and college in his hometown before moving to New York for a research and teaching job. During World War II, he worked on high-performance aviation fuels and lubricants at the Beacon laboratory. After the war, he shifted to the Oak Ridge National Laboratory to work with Ernest Woolen on neutron scattering, for which he later received the Nobel Prize. His most satisfying years were spent at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he guided young research students and initiated the first neutron diffraction investigations of magnetic materials.

Biography/Timeline

1946

He started [his pioneering work] in 1946 at what is now Oak Ridge National Laboratory. At that time, he said, "Scientists at Oak Ridge were very anxious to find real honest-to-goodness scientific uses for the information and Technology that had been developed during the war at Oak Ridge and at other places associated with the wartime Manhattan Project."

1955

Professor Shull came to MIT as a full professor in 1955 and retired in 1986, though he continued to visit and to "look over the shoulders" of students doing experiments in the "remnants of my old research laboratory."

1956

Professor Shull's awards include the Buckley Prize, which he received from the American Physical Society in 1956, and election to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (1956) and to the National Academy of Sciences (1975). In 1993 he received the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences' Gregori Aminoff prize for his "development and application of neutron diffraction methods for studies of atomic and magnetic structures of solids."'

1994

Clifford G. Shull was awarded the 1994 Nobel Prize in Physics with Canadian Bertram Brockhouse. The two won the prize for the development of the neutron scattering technique. He also conducted research on condensed matter. Professor Shull's prize was awarded for his pioneering work in neutron scattering, a technique that reveals where atoms are within a material like ricocheting bullets reveal where obstacles are in the dark.
