Otto Stern (German pronunciation:[ˈɔtoˈʃtɛʁn]ⓘ; 17 February 1888 – 17 August 1969) was a German-American physicist and Nobel laureate in physics. He was the second most nominated physicist for a Nobel Prize, with 82 nominations in the years 1925–1945[1] (most times nominated is Arnold Sommerfeld with 84 nominations), ultimately winning in 1943.
