During the 1920's, Franck was a prominent figure in the German physics community. His research into the structure of the atom earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1925. After the Nazis seized power in 1933, Franck resigned his professorship at Gottingen in protest against anti-Jewish policies. He soon emigrated to the United States, where, at the University of Chicago, he began innovative research into photosynthesis.Stanford nuclear age series.PhysicistsGermanyBiographyNobel Prize winnersGermanyBiographyJewish refugeesUnited StatesBiographyElectronic books.PhysicistsNobel Prize winnersJewish refugees530.092BLemmerich J1034935Hentschel Ann974967MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910456983903321Science and conscience2454352UNINA
