Alexei Abrikosov
Much of the technology we take for granted today, from mobile phone reception to MRI scanning, would be unthinkable without discoveries made by Alexei Abrikosov in Russia half a century ago. In the early 1950s, Abrikosov was one of only a handful of scientists around the world studying the phenomenon of superconductivity, the ability of electricity to pass through certain materials without resistance, usually at incredibly low temperatures. His discoveries took many years to gain widespread acceptance, but today his theory of the magnetic properties of Type II Superconductors, known as the "Abrikosov vortex lattice," is universally accepted. In the Soviet Union, Dr. Abrikosov was honored with the Lenin Prize, Russia's most important scientific honor. In 1991, he moved to the United States to join the Argonne National Laboratory; he became a U.S. citizen in 1999. In 2003, Dr. Abrikosov was awarded the Nobel Prize, along with two colleagues, "for pioneering work on the theory of supercon
