    About Albert A. Michelson

    Albert Abraham Michelson was an American physicist best known for his precise measurements of the speed of light and his pioneering work in optics. Born in Strelno, Prussia, in 1852, his family emigrated to the United States during his infancy. He graduated from the United States Naval Academy in 1873 and later studied physics in Europe. Michelson designed the optical interferometer, an instrument that splits light to measure tiny distances. In 1887, along with Edward Morley, he conducted the landmark Michelson-Morley experiment. This test failed to detect the hypothetical luminiferous aether, providing key evidence against its existence and aiding the development of special relativity. In 1907, Michelson became the first American to win the Nobel Prize in Physics. He served as a professor at Case School of Applied Science and the University of Chicago, continuing research until his death in 1931.
