Lev Davidovich Landau: Google has a doodle for the physicist

Google, on Tuesday, marked physicist Lev Davidovich Landau's 111th birth anniversary with a doodle. Born in Baku, Azerbaijan in 1908, Landau won the 1962 Nobel Prize for his research into liquid helium’s behaviour at extremely low temperatures. The Soviet theoretical physicist was elected to the U.S.S.R.’s Academy of Sciences in 1946. Awarded the Lenin Science Prize, Landau has a crater on the moon named after him. As a young boy, he was “quiet & shy” but always brilliant at math and science. He passed away at 60 on April 1, 1968.
