110 years ago, most advances in Physics, Chemistry, Bio-Chemistry, were distributed among Germany (they were at the top), France, Denmark, Great Britain, United States, Netherlands.
But nowadays, among the top 30 best universities in the world, only Zürich ETH appears as non-anglosaxon university, while almost every university is American or British. Its hard to see German Nobel laureates in science, in the past 2 decades, but american, british, canadian are extremely common, even Japanese.
It seems continental Europe is not top in Natural Science anymore. (Well, there is the CERN, but still, most of their guys are British)
