Robert Hofstadter war ein US-amerikanischer Physiker. Er erhielt den Nobelpreis für Physik 1961, zusammen mit Rudolf Mößbauer, für „seine Pionierarbeiten zur Elektronenstreuung an Atomkernen und seine dadurch gewonnenen Entdeckungen, die die Struktur des Atomkerns betreffen“.
Robert Hofstadter (February 5, 1915 – November 17, 1990) was an American physicist. He was the joint winner of the 1961 Nobel Prize in Physics (together with Rudolf Mössbauer) "for his pioneering studies of electron scattering in atomic nuclei and for his consequent discoveries concerning the structure of nucleons".
Robert Hofstadter, Professor of Physics at Stanford University, was born in New York, N.Y., of parents Louis Hofstadter and Henrietta Koenigsberg, on February 5, 1915. Hofstadter attended elementary and high schools in New York City, and was graduated in 1935 from the College of the City of New York with the B.S. degree, magna cum laude.
Robert Hofstadter was an American scientist who was a joint recipient of the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1961 for his investigations of protons and neutrons, which revealed the hitherto unknown structure of these particles. He shared the prize with Rudolf Ludwig Mössbauer of Germany. Hofstadter was.
