Felix Bloch (/ blɒk /; German: [ˈfeːlɪks ˈblɔx]; 23 October 1905 – 10 September 1983) was a Swiss-American physicist [1] who shared the 1952 Nobel Prize in Physics with Edward Mills Purcell "for their development of new methods for nuclear magnetic precision measurements and discoveries in connection therewith". [2] .

Felix Bloch (/ blɒk /; German: [blɔx]; born July 19, 1935) is a former director of European and Canadian Affairs in the United States Department of State. He is known for his connection to the Robert Hanssen espionage case.

In 1954, Bloch took a leave of absence to serve for one year as the first Director General of CERN in Geneva. After his return to Stanford University he continued his investigations on nuclear magnetism, particularly in regard to the theory of relaxation.

Felix Bloch 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.

After becoming an American citizen, he worked on atomic energy in Los Alamos during World War II and later on radar at Harvard University. Immediately after the war, he did his Nobel Prize-awarded work at Stanford. He became the first head of CERN outside Geneva in 1954-1955. Bloch was married and had four children.

FELIX 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 me-chanics was a valid instrument for understanding many physi-cal phenomena for …

Physicist Felix Bloch developed a non-destructive technique for precisely observing and measuring the magnetic properties of nuclear particles.

Stanford's first Nobel Prize, namesake of the original and new Bloch Lecture Hall, Hewlett room 201. Born 1905, joined Stanford faculty 1934, emeritus 1971. Served for one year as the first Director-General of CERN in Geneva, 1954.

Felix Bloch was a Swiss physicist and the winner of the 1952 Nobel Prize. Bloch was born in 1905 in Zurich, Switzerland. He attended the Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich and went on to study with Werner Heisenberg at the University of Leipzig.

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.
