Douglas Osheroff is an American physicist best known for his research in condensed matter physics, particularly for his work on superfluidity in liquid helium-3. Born on August 1, 1945, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1996, along with David M. Lee and Robert C. Richardson, for their discovery of superfluidity in this rare isotope of helium, which provided significant insights into quantum liquids and condensed matter physics.
