Sup /sci/,

I have read a story a while ago on a guy (and possibly a friend/spouse). Their department was getting ready for Christmas holiday and labs became more and more deserted. However, when said people heard about some interesting experimental results, they abandoned their holiday plans, rushed back to the lab, documented the outcome, wrote a paper and subsequently won a Nobel prize. Problem is: I cannot recall neither the topic nor these people. Might have been on the field of particle physics but I'm not sure. Question is: who were they? Could you help a /b/ro out? Thanks in advance.
