It is thought to be very amazing that Arthur Ashkin won the Nobel Prize in physics at the age of 96. But now Goodenough is even than him and Arthur Ashkin becomes the oldest one.
Goodenough was born in 1922 in Germany. He completed his doctor degree he was 30 at the University of Chicago and worked at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology after that.
