He was born in Örebro, Sweden in 1886 and had his schooling in Stockholm and university education in Lund. He discovered a new group of wavelengths, known as the M series, in X-ray emission spectra at the age of thirty and was later appointed full professor at the University of Uppsala. His work on X-ray spectroscopy earned him the Nobel Prize and he later joined the University of Stockholm and was chosen as the first director of the Nobel Institute of Physics. He initiated studies on nuclear physics and the institute is now known as the Manne Siegbahn Institute, a center of excellence for young scientists from all over the world.
