The 1915 Nobel Prize in Physics was unique. The prize was awarded to William Lawrence Bragg who was the youngest Nobel Laureate at the tender age of 25. The other prize winner was the father William Henry Bragg. Nobel Prize in Physics 1915
Physicists will argue that the younger Bragg did not deserve the award.
All said and done, it is something to Bragg about..
Incidentally, the other youngest physicist awarded the Nobel Prize for independent research was Rudolf Ludwig Mössbauer who was awarded the prize at the age of 32.
