Felix Bloch was a Swiss physicist, working mainly in the U.S. He and Edward Mills Purcell were awarded the 1952 Nobel Prize for Physics for “their development of new ways and methods for nuclear magnetic precision measurements”.
In 1954–1955, he served for one year as the first Director-General of CERN. Felix Bloch made fundamental theoretical contributions to the understanding of the behavior electrons in crystal lattices, ferro magnetism, and nuclear magnetic resonance.
