This timeline lists significant discoveries in physics and the laws of nature, including experimental discoveries, theoretical proposals that were confirmed experimentally, and theories that have significantly influenced current thinking in modern physics. Such discoveries are often a multi-step, multi-person process.
Achievements in physics Europe: Gribov Medal: European Physical Society: Work in theoretical elementary particle physics or quantum field theory Europe: Hannes Alfvén Prize: European Physical Society: Achievements which have shaped the plasma physics field or are expected to do so in future Europe: High Energy and Particle Physics Prize ...
The first prize in physics was awarded in 1901 to Wilhelm Conrad Röntgen, of Germany, who received 150,782 SEK. 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.

The Robert R. Wilson Prize for Achievement in the Physics of Particle Accelerators was established in 1987 "to recognize and encourage outstanding achievement in the physics of particle accelerators. The prize consists of $10,000, an allowance for travel to the meeting at which the prize is awarded and a certificate citing the contributions ...
The American National Medal of Technology and Innovation. This is a list of notable awards for specific areas of science and technology.Typically these lists give the country of the sponsoring organization, the award name, sponsor name and a description of the award criteria.
In 1929, Max Planck presented Einstein with the Max Planck medal of the German Physical Society in Berlin, for extraordinary achievements in theoretical physics. [10] In 1931, he received the Prix Jules Janssen, In 1934 Einstein gave the Josiah Willard Gibbs lecture. [11] [12]
