Nobel Prize - Nobel Prize The Nobel Prize medal for Physics, Chemistry, Physiology (or Medicine) and Literature The Nobel Prizes (pronounced no-BELL) are awarded annually to people who have done outstanding research, invented groundbreaking techniques or equipment or made outstanding contributions to society. It is generally regarded as the supreme commendations in the world today. The prizes were instituted by the final will of Alfred Nobel, a Swedish industrialist, and the inventor of dynamite. He signed his will at the Swedish-Norwegian Club in Paris on November 27, 1895. The first ceremony to award the Nobel Prizes in literature, physics, chemistry, and medicine was held at the Old Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm in 1901; since 1902, the prizes have been formally awarded by the King of Sweden. King.

Nobelium - linear accelerator (HILAC) was used to bombard a thin target of curium (95% 244Cm and 4.5% 246Cm) with 12C ions to produce 102No according to the 246Cm(12C, 4n) reaction. It is named after Alfred Nobel, the discoverer of dynamite and namesake of the Nobel Prize. In 1957 workers in the United States, Britain, and Sweden announced the discovery of an isotope of element 102 with a 10-minute half-life at 8.5 MeV, as a result of bombarding 244Cm with 13C nuclei. On the basis of this experiment, the name nobelium was assigned and accepted by the Commission on Atomic Weights of the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry. The acceptance of the name was premature because both Russian and American efforts now completely rule out the possibility of any isotope of.

Kurt Alder - 20 June, 1958) was a German chemist who won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry jointly with Otto Paul Hermann Diels in 1950. Alder was born in the industrial area of Königshütte in Upper Silesia, now in Poland and known as Krolewska Huta, where he received his early schooling. Forced to leave the area for political reasons after the First World War, he studied chemistry at the University of Berlin from 1922, and later at the University of Kiel where his PhD was awarded in 1926 for work supervised by Diels. In 1930 Alder was appointed reader for chemistry at Kiel, and promoted to lecturer in 1934. In 1936 he left Kiel to join I G Farben Industrie at Leverkusen, where he worked on synthetic rubber. Then in 1940 he was appointed.
J. H. van 't Hoff - 1852 - March 1, 1911) was a Dutch physical and organic chemist, the winner of the first Nobel Prize in Chemistry. He was born in Rotterdam, the son of a medical doctor. From a young age he was interested in science, and against the wishes of his father he went to study chemistry, first at the Delft Polytechnical Institute, then at the University of Leiden, then to Bonn, Germany (where he studied with Friedrich Kekulé), then Paris (where he studied with C. A. Wurtz), and finally receiving his doctorate at the University of Utrecht in 1874. Before receiving his doctorate, however, Van 't Hoff already published the first of his important contributions to organic chemistry. He accounted for the phenomenon of optical activity by assuming that the chemical bonds between carbon.

Jaroslav Heyrovsky - March 27, 1967) was a Czech chemist who was awarded the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1959. He was born in Prague and first studied chemistry, physics and mathematics at the University of Prague and then he went to study at University College in London. At this time he met with such a great mind like Sir William Ramsay. He graduated in 1913; working with Professor Donnan he took up a great interest in electrochemistry. He received his further degrees in 1918 and 1923. Heyrovsky started his scientific career at the Charles University, Prague where he soon became Professor of Physical Chemistry. The main field of work of Heyrovsky was polarography..
Vitamin C - surprised when scurvy resulted instead. Until that time scurvy had not been observed in any organism apart from humans and was considered a completely human disease. In 1928 the arctic anthropologist and adventurer Vilhjalmur Stefansson attempted to prove his theory of how Eskimo (Inuit) people are able to avoid scurvy with almost no plant food in their diet. This had long been a puzzle because the disease had struck European arctic explorers living on similar high meat diets. Stefansson theorised that the native peoples of the arctic got their vitamin C from meat and offal that was raw or minimally cooked. Starting in February 1928 for one year he and a colleague lived on an animal flesh only diet under medical supervision at New York's Bellevue Hospital and remained healthy. In.
John Pople - (in 19__) and doctorate (in 1951) degrees in mathematics, from Cambridge University in the United Kingdom. His thesis was, however, on a topic that would generally be considered chemistry: the bonding structures of water. Pople to this day considers himself more of a mathematician than a chemist, but theoretical chemists consider him one of the most important of their number. His first major contribution was a theory of approximate molecular orbital (MO) calculations on pi electron systems in 1953, identical to the one developed by Rudolph Pariser and Robert G. Parr in the same year, and now called the Pariser-Parr-Pople (PPP) method. Subsequently, he developed the methods of Complete Neglect of Differential Overlap (CNDO) (in 1965) and Intermediate Neglect of Differential Overlap (INDO) (shortly later) for approximate MO calculations on three-dimensional.
Johns Hopkins University - of 140 park-like acres in the northern part of Baltimore. Much of the beautiful architecture dates from the nineteenth century, and is designed in the Georgian style, built of red brick and white marble. The campus was originally the estate of the Carroll family, whose residence is preserved as a museum on the grounds. Hopkins' roughly 4,000 undergraduate students matriculate from all fifty states and over forty countries. About 40% of students previously attended private high schools or prep schools, and within six years of graduation 85% of Hopkins students earn graduate degrees, the highest percentage in the nation. Hopkins has three entirely student-run publications: The Johns Hopkins News-Letter, The Black & Blue Jay and Anagram. The News-Letter is the oldest continuously-published college newspaper in the nation, founded in 1896, and.
John Kendrew - molecular biologist. John Kendrew shared the 1962 Nobel Prize for chemistry with Max Perutz for determining the first atomic structures of proteins using crystallography. Their work was done at what is now the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, England. Kendrew determined the structure of the protein myoglobin, which transports oxygen in muscle cells..
John Fenn - John B. Fenn, a research professor of analytical chemistry was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2002. Dr. Fenn won the award for his work in the field of mass spectrometry, specifically for the technique electrospray ionization often used to identify and analyze biological macromolecules. Dr. Fenn recieved an A.B. from Berea College, and a Ph.D. from Yale University.

Johannes Stark - 1957) was a prominent 20th century physicist, and a Physics Nobel Prize laureate. Born in Schickenhof, Bavaria, Stark was educated at the Bayreuth Gymnasium (grammar school) and later in Regensburg. His collegiate education began at the Munich University, where he studied physics, mathematics, chemistry, and crystallography. His tenure at that college began in 1894; he graduated in 1897, with his doctoral dissertation regarding some physics subjects of Isaac Newton. He worked in various positions at the Physics Institute of his alma mater until 1900, when he became an unsalaried lecturer at the University of Göttingen. He moved throughout various physics colleges until 1922. In 1919, however, he won the Nobel Prize in physics for his "discovery of the Doppler effect in canal rays and the splitting of spectral lines in electric.
