His invention of the [[Buồng bọt|cloud chamber]] made him win the 1927 [[Nobel Prize in Physics]]. == Biography == Wilson was born to John Wilson and Annie Clerk Harper in the [[parish]] of Glencorse, [[Midlothian]]. After his father's death in 1873, his family moved to [[Manchester]]. He studied [[biology]] at [[University of Manchester|Owen's College]] to become a [[Doctor of Medicine|doctor]]. He then joined [[Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge]] to study [[Physics]] and [[Chemistry]]. Wilson later became interested in [[meteorology]], and in 1893 he began to study clouds and their properties. He worked at the [[observatory]] on [[Ben Nevis]] mountain to observe cloud formation. He then tried to replicate this effect at smaller scale in [[Laboratory|his laboratory]] in [[Cambridge]], by causing moist air to expand in a sealed container. He then experimented with creating cloud trails in containers by [[Ion|ions]] and [[Electromagnetic radiation|radiation]]. He was awarded
