A professor of chemistry at Moscow State University, where she serves as head of the Organoelement Chemistry laboratory.[1] She specialises in organometallic chemistry and its application to problems in organic chemistry. She is best known for her studies on aromatic reaction mechanisms, as well as work on carbanion acidity and reactivity.[2] She developed some of the first methods for carbon-carbon bond formation using palladium or nickel catalysts, and extended these reactions to work in aqueous media. She also helped to open up the chemistry of organolanthanides. She is an academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, a former president of the Division of Organic Chemistry of IUPAC,

An Austrian-born American who is a physicist at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in Tennessee. He is a specialist on the properties of Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), with an important patent and over 60 peer-reviewed academic papers.In the early 1980s, Sauers developed a novel method by which to measure the degradation of Sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) in high-voltage systems. SF6, a hypervalent molecule, is used as a gaseous insulator in conjunction with solid insulating material in high voltage systems such as transmission lines, substations and switchgear. When the dielectric strength of SF6 is exceeded, regions of high electrical stress can cause nearby gas to partially ionize and begin conducting,

Was a Polish-born Israeli Professor of Chemistry at Hebrew University in Jerusalem, the former president of the Israeli League for Human and Civil Rights, and an outspoken critic of the Israeli government. Shahak's writings on Judaism have been the source of considerable controversy.After graduating from high school, Shahak served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) in an elite regiment.[4] After completing service with the IDF, he attended Hebrew University where he received his doctorate in chemistry. He became an assistant to the head of Israel's Atomic Energy Commission[5]. In 1961, he left Israel for the United States to study as a postdoctoral student at Stanford University. He returned two years later to become a teacher and researcher in chemistry at Hebrew University, where he remained until his retirement in 1990.

Was a Croatian physicist, philosopher, writer, peace activist and humanist.Supek was born on April 8, 1915 in Zagreb, Croatia (still nominally under Austria-Hungary). After finishing high school in Zagreb in 1934, he continued his education at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University of Zagreb studying mathematics, physics and philosophy. He then quickly moved to Zürich and Leipzig where in 1940 he obtained his PhD in physics and philosophy under the supervision of Werner Heisenberg. In 1941 he was arrested by the Gestapo for being involved in antifascist activity. His professors, Heisenberg, Hund and von Weizsäcker intervened to release him from prison. He continued to work with Heisenberg until 1943, when he went back to Croatia and joined the Croatian antifascist movement.
