Feb 5, 2016 · Born on 5 February 1915 in New York City, Robert Hofstadter was a Nobel Prize–winning physicist who exposed the structure of the atomic nucleus and its constituent particles.
Jan 6, 1991 · Nobel laureate Robert Hofstadter, 75, died November 17 at his home in Stanford, Calif., after a long bout with heart disease. Hofstadter's early investigations, in which he measured the size of the neutron and proton in the nuclei of atoms, won him the Nobel Prize in physics in 1961. Hofstadter was one of the driving forces behind the creation of the Stanford Linear Accelerator. He also made substantial contributions to gamma ray spectroscopy, leading to the use of radioactive tracers to locate
