American physicist (1931-2019)
John Robert Schrieffer was an American physicist who made groundbreaking contributions to understanding superconductivity, the phenomenon where certain materials lose all electrical resistance when cooled to very low temperatures. His work helped explain how superconductors function at a fundamental level, earning him the Nobel Prize in Physics and advancing technologies that rely on superconductors, such as medical imaging devices and powerful electromagnets.
