Encyclopedia > Theodor Svedberg

Theodor (The) Svedberg (August 30, 1884February 25, 1971) was a Swedish chemist and Nobel laureate. His work with colloids supported the theories of Brownian motion put forward by Einstein and the Polish geophysicist Marian Smoluchowski. During this work, he developed the technique of analytical ultracentrifugation, and demonstrated its utility in distinguishing pure proteins one from another.

Theodor Svedberg Biography (1884-1971) (388 words)
Svedberg was raised by a civil engineer who shared his love of nature with his son.
Svedberg wanted to identify the exact size of the colloids he studied, but this was difficult because the only way to make such measurements was to note how the particles settled through sedimentation.
Svedberg was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1926 for his contributions to colloid chemistry.
