John Bardeen is the only laureate to win the prize twice—in 1956 and 1972. William Lawrence Bragg was the youngest Nobel laureate in physics; he won the prize in 1915 at the age of 25. He was also the youngest laureate for any Nobel prize until 2014 (when Malala Yousafzai won the Nobel Peace Prize at the age of 17). [6]
[4] [3] As of 2024, he is the youngest ever Nobel laureate in physics, or in any science category, having received the award at the age of 25.
