Do you love science? Are you a nerd? If you answered yes all of the above, or even just the last one, _Symmetry_ magazine has a holiday decoration just for you: Nobel prize-winning scientist snowflakes. “Energy and mass may be equivalent, but this Albert Einstein snowflake is beyond compare,” writes Kathryn Jepson of _Symmetry_ a particle physics journal, alongside a downloadable PDF template for cutting out the snowflakes yourself. Other templates include the Marie Curie snowflake—which “radiates charm”—and the Erwin Schrödinger snowflake: “Is it an Erwin Schrödinger snowflake with cats on it, or is it a cat snowflake with Erwin Schrödinger on it?” Read more and get your snowflake templates now at [_Symmetry_](http://www.symmetrymagazine.org/article/december-2014/deck-the-halls-with-nobel-physicists) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3637613/nobel-prize-snowflake-decoration/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3637613/nobel-prize-snowflake-decoration/"},"headline":"Have a Very Marie Curie Christmas With These Nobel Physicist Snowflake Decorations","datePublished":"2014-12-17T15:56:13.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:15:24.894Z","description":"Because every scientist is unique in their own special way","url":"https://time.com/3637613/nobel-prize-snowflake-decoration/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Science topic","Nobel","holiday"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Denver Nicks","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/denver-nicks/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3637613/nobel-prize-snowflake-decoration/","name":"Have a Very Marie Curie Christmas With These Nobel Physicist Snowflake Decorations"}}]}] ```
