In 1921 he was able to give a very precise definition of the quantity of heat and the most satisfactory mathematical statement of the law of [[thermodynamics]].  His most famous achievement came in 1926 when he collaborated with one of his students, [[Werner Heisenberg]], to develop a mathematical formulation that would describe Heisenberg's first laws of the new quantum theory (matrix mechanics).

Born was reportedly quite disappointed not to be honored with at least a shared Nobel Prize for Physics in 1932, which was given to Heisenberg.  But in 1954, he was granted a shared Nobel Prize for Physics (with Walther Bothe) for their work on the statistical interpretation of quantum theory.<ref>https://www.famousscientists.org/max-born/</ref>
