The Nobel Prize is a set of annual international awards bestowed in a number of categories by Swedish and Norwegian committees in recognition of academic, cultural and scientific advances. Chemistry is one of the many categories of Nobel Prizes awarded to chemists that have dedicated life changing research in their perspective fields. In 2013, the Nobel Prize in chemistry was awarded to three theoretical chemists, Michael Levitt, Martin Karplus, and Arieh Warshe, who developed a multiscale computer
teacher to recently taken classes while he was in school (Simoni, 2003). To give a perspective into the accomplishments of Pauling’s career, he is currently the sole person to be given two Nobel Prizes; the Nobel Prize for Chemistry (1954) and the Nobel Prize for Peace (1962). Pauling published a General Chemistry book that has been used by various programs... ... middle of paper ... ... knowledge that encompasses a multitude of topics of science. Pauling spoke out for what he believed in and did
Alfred Nobel permitted his fortune to fund the Nobel Prize awards . Five years after Alfred Nobel's death the first Nobel Prize was given to the laureates on 10 December, 1901. The Nobel Prize is given in 6 different categories, each year on December the 10th in the field of Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, literature, Peace and Economics. The Nobel Prize is a worldwide educational award which is only awarded in Stockholm, Sweden. The Peace Prize is given in Oslo, Norway. The purpose of this study
analytic research paper, the famous Nobel Prize Winner, Linus Pauling, will be the center of attention through the exploration of several aspects in his life. The prelude of this paper will be a brief historical perspective of Pauling’s upbringing, schooling, and academia. Proceeding is an overview of key individuals who impacted Pauling’s life and journey to his achievements. After seeing the individuals who impacted Pauling; his individual awards and Nobel Prize achievements will be analyzed and
The Noble Prizes were first awarded in 1910. However they were created years before by a man named Alfred Nobel. Alfred Noble was born on October 21, 1833 in Stockholm, Sweden.

In Russia, the business prospered and Alfred’s father was able to give is sons the best education of that time. Alfred was fluent in 6 languages and was skilled in writing. However, his father

Together the brilliant pair became researchers at the School of Chemistry and Physics in Paris. At first, she worked alone on her projects. She was intrigued with the work of Henri Becquerel, who had found a new phenomenon which invisible rays given off by uranium. “Marie also noticed that samples of a mineral called pitchblende
The Nobel Peace Prize is one of the highest awards that a researcher in physics, chemistry, or medicine can receive, and the award honors scientists that have made revolutionary discoveries or explanations in their field. This award was presented to Anthony Hewish, and his mentor, Martin Ryle in 1974 for the innovations they made in astronomy, and specifically the discovery of pulsars. Although they were the only two that were awarded, Jocelyn Bell Burnell played a significant role in pulsar detection

think, like Nobel, that humanity will draw more good than evil from new discoveries” (Marie Curie - The Great Woman Scientist). Marie Curie’s enthusiasm for science, thirst for knowledge, and intense curiosity allowed her to become a pioneer in both the research areas of chemistry and physics. She came from humble beginnings, but instead of letting obstacles slow her down, her resolve to advance scientific knowledge only grew stronger. Marie Curie was not only recognized with a Nobel Prize in both chemistry
Alfred Nobel Alfred Nobel is known for his famous invention. He invented dynamite and founded the Nobel Prizes. Alfred was an incredible man and accomplished many things in his life that started on October 21, 1833 and ended on December 10, 1896. He was an inventor, Swedish chemist, engineer, innovator, and an armaments manufacturer. Alfred's life was not always great, as he was born into a poor family in Stockholm, Sweden and experienced many accidents. Alfred's father manufactured military equipment
discoveries, Mrs. Curie made up most of the Earth metals in the periodic table. Marie discovered Radium and other key elements, which help us in our daily lives, especially taking x-rays. Marie was also the first person honored with two Nobel Prizes in both physics and chemistry. Maria Sklodowska was in born Warsaw, Poland in November 7, 1867. Maria was only eight year olds when she found out her oldest sister caught typhus and died the following year. The death of her sister, Zofia impacted her life drastically
Alfred Nobel: The Man behind the Prize. Alfred Nobel is known for starting the Nobel Prize. This prize is given every year to some of the greatest minds in the world who through their work, help to better society. In opposition to the improvement of society, is the fact that Nobel’s other known inventions brought much death and destruction to the world (Frost). This combination of inventions helps to pose the question who was Alfred Nobel, and why did Nobel create this prize to help the world. In
Chemistry has been around for a very long time. Chemistry dates back to as far as the prehistoric times. If you put the amount of time chemistry takes up in a timeline, you would split it into four general categories. The four categories are: prehistoric times - beginning of the Christian era (black magic), beginning of the Christian era - end of 17th century (alchemy), end of 17th century - mid 19th century (traditional chemistry), and mid 19th century - present (modern chemistry). It starts

Nucleic Acids and Recombinant Introduction The following essay will outline the 1983 Nobel Prize winner Paul Berg, for his studies of the biochemistry of nucleic acids and recombinant-DNA. The reason why I chose Paul Berg as my Nobel Laureate was because his findings won him the Nobel Prize in the field of Biochemistry. Since he won the prize for Biochemistry, his findings will cover both Biology and Chemistry, which will help me in two of my NCUK courses. In the essay, a discussion consisting of
This 2006 article by Ed John Merriman and Jay Winter, titled “The Nobel Prize,” is about the history and importance of the Nobel Prize, and how it works. To understand the history of the Nobel Prize, we must start with the death of the Alfred Nobel. Alfred Nobel was known for his work with chemicals and explosives, and was actually the inventor of dynamite. Upon providing dynamite to the world, solely for the use of mining, he found his creation misused for violence, a new war tool that was used
materials such as but not limited to: Metals and alloys, semiconductors, superconductors, polymers, ceramics, crystal, amorphous and cluster-like states. Condensed Matter Physics is interdisciplinary and intertwined with inorganic chemistry, physical chemistry, quantum chemistry, electrical and mechanical. It tries to connect the properties of the nuclei and electrons to the macroscopically observed quantities. As in other fields of study, advancement in condensed matter resulted from impro...
Since 1901, the Nobel Prize has honored men and women worldwide for his or her achievements whose work had been of the greatest benefit to mankind.
