Ernst Ising is recognized among Jewish contributors to Science & Medicine — Physicist; the Ising model of ferromagnetism
German-born American physicist who, in his 1924 doctoral thesis under Wilhelm Lenz, solved the one-dimensional model of ferromagnetism now universally called the Ising model — one of the most studied models in statistical physics, condensed matter and beyond. A Jew, he was barred from teaching under the Nazi regime, survived the war in Europe and emigrated to the United States in 1947, teaching at Bradley University.
