Lars Onsager (born in 1903 in Oslo, Norway, died in 1976) Nobel laureate in chemistry in 1968 for "for the discovery of the reciprocal relations bearing his name, which are fundamental for the thermodynamics of irreversible processes". He is renowned for his solution of the two-dimensional Ising model, a mathematical tour de force which made clear the nature of phase transitions. (The fact that the two-dimensional Ising model must have a phase transition was advanced by an argument by Rudolph Peierls).
