Motivated by a study of the archive of Revue Roumaine de Physique, published under this name in the period 1964-1992 and afterwards under the name Romanian Journal of Physics, we present here a series of short scientific portraits of the founders of Modern Physics in Romania: Eugen Bad˘ ar˘ au˘ (1887-1975), Horia Hulubei (1896-1972), Ion I. Agarbiceanuˆ (1907-1971), S, erban T, it,eica (1908-1985), Radu Grigorovici (1911-2008), and Ioan Ursu (1928-2007). The aforementioned foun- ders of Modern Physics in Romania were the heirs of the traditions in education and research from the historical provinces of Romania. These traditions rekindled after the Second World War and bloomed through the foundation and subsequent development of the Magurele˘ Physics Campus, now a Historic Site of the European Physical Soci- ety. Studying the archive of Revue Roumaine de Physique, we have identified eleven Laureates of the Nobel Prize, either for Physics or for Chemistry, who were closely con- nected with the development of physics in Romania and published in Revue Roumaine de Physique: C.V.
