Goodenough moved to Texas in 1986, shortly before Oxford’s retirement policy would have forced him out. John Goodenough has a straightforward advice for how to have a long life in research.

Established in 2008 the John B Goodenough Award (previously advertised as the Materials Chemistry Forum Lifetime Award) recognises the work of John Bannister Goodenough who helped develop the first RAM (random-access memory) of the digital computer.

Der diesjährige Nobelpreis für Chemie ehrt die Väter der Lithium-Ionen-Batterie. John Goodenough hatte seinen Stolz und beschloss, „nie wieder einen Penny von zuhause zu nehmen“. Professor Goodenough received the award jointly with Oxford DPhil graduate M. Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshino.In 1980, during his time as Head of the Inorganic Chemistry Department at Oxford, Professor Goodenough, along with Koichi Mizushima, Philip C Jones and Philip J Wiseman, identified the cathode material that enabled development of the rechargeable lithium-ion battery. John B. Goodenough, M. Stanley Whittingham und Akira Yoshino erhalten den Nobelpreis für Chemie .

John B. Goodenough, in full John Bannister Goodenough, (born July 25, 1922, Jena, Germany), American physicist who won the 2019 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for his work on developing lithium-ion batteries. He received the award jointly with Oxford DPhil graduate M. Stanley Whittingham and Akira Yoshino.

Professor John B Goodenough from the Cockrell School of Engineering at The University of Texas at Austin has been awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work at Oxford University that made possible the development of lithium-ion batteries. This breakthrough ushered in the age of portable electronic devices such as laptops and smartphones.Professor Louise Richardson, Vice-Chancellor of the University of Oxford, said: 'We are delighted that a second Oxford discovery has been honoured with a Nobel Prize within a week.

He said forced retirement was foolishListen to Times Radio for the latest well-informed debate, expert analysis and breaking newsRegistered office: 1 London Bridge Street, SE1 9GF. Please The subscription details associated with this account need to be updated. The story of the lithium ion battery exceeds Oxford, however. The world’s oldest Nobel laureate, 97-year-old Professor John B. Goodenough, was on October 9, 2019 awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work at Oxford University that made possible the lithium-ion batteries that power most portable devices such as phones and laptops, and increasingly cars. It’s foolish to make people retire. Consultation on the next stage of the USS valuation Our warmest congratulations go to Professor Goodenough and also to Professor M Stanley Whittingham, who obtained his undergraduate and postgraduate degrees at Oxford.

His father was working on his Ph.D. at the Harvard Divinity School at the time of John's birth and later became a professor in the history of religion at Yale University.

Thirty years later, he is focused on the kind of pure research he was doing at MIT Lincoln, examining the electronic properties in transition metal oxides and experimenting with superconductivity. A 97-year-old academic who has become the oldest winner of a Nobel prize criticised Oxford University for forcing him to retire at 65.John Goodenough was awarded the prize for chemistry for helping to He is still working at the University of Texas at Austin, having left Oxford 33 years ago after realising he would lose his job at retirement age.

Goodenough received a degree in Mathematics at Yale whilst serving in the U.S. army air force.
