huinventors1-7, Exercise 2: Another laureate

Model answer (Georg von Békésy):

Prize: Physiology or Medicine, 1961, for his discoveries about how the inner ear senses sound, in particular the physical mechanism of stimulation within the cochlea. Much of his later work was done outside Hungary, for example in Sweden and the United States.

Alternatives: George de Hevesy (Chemistry, 1943, radioactive tracers) or Eugene Wigner (Physics, 1963, symmetries). Details of the prize wording and places of work should be checked.
