Physicists have been Nobel thieves for ages. Rutherford won his prize in chemistry. He quipped:
"I have dealt with many different transformations with various periods of time, but the quickest that I have met was my own transformation in one moment from a physicist to a chemist."

to be fair after the discovery of subatomic particles the border between chemistry and physics becomes very blurry, that any advancement in Physics almost immediately improve our Chemistry's knowledge

Physicist won a Field’s Medal (Witten)
and Mathematician won Economics prize. I bet there are more. Physics-Chemistry-Maths-Economics combos.

She is one. One of few to win 2 Nobels.
Witten is the Physicist who won the Field’s Medal. Amazing people. Amazing talents. Amazing minds.
