Was an American physicist and chemist, primarily responsible for the early development of molecular orbital theory, i.e. the elaboration of the molecular orbital method of computing the structure of molecules. Dr. Mulliken received the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1966. He received the Priestley Medal in 1983.At this time, the United States had just entered World War I, and Mulliken took a position at American University in Washington, D.C., making poison gas under James B. Conant. After nine months, he was drafted into the Army's Chemical Warfare Service, but continued on the same task. His laboratory techniques left much to be desired, and he was out of service for months with burns. Later he got a bad case of influenza, and was still in the hospital at war's end.

Was an American physicist who participated in the Manhattan Project.Robert Serber was born in Philadelphia. He earned his B.S. in Engineering Physics from Lehigh University in 1930, his PhD from the University of Wisconsin-Madison with John Van Vleck in 1934, after which he was initially going to begin postdoctorate work at Princeton University with Eugene Wigner but, en route, changed his plans and went to work with Robert Oppenheimer at the University of California, Berkeley (and shuttled with Oppenheimer between Berkeley and the California Institute of Technology). In 1938 he took a job at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign where he stayed until he was recruited for the Manhattan Project. He later became a Professor and Chair of the physics department at Columbia University.

Was a notable Austrian physicist.After auditing classes at the University of Vienna, he studied for one year at the Göttingen Institute for physical chemistry, where he again received no degree. This period of study influenced von Lieben greatly; he and his mentor, Nernst, would speak for hours over radiological discoveries and speculate over the future of motorized flight; Nernst, among other things, improved the Wright brothers' aircraft design. Back in Vienna, he started a laboratory.

Was an American physicist. He was a careful experimenter known for his many contributions to optics

Was an American physicist. He was a careful experimenter known for his many contributions to optics including infrared and ultraviolet photography, and the liquid mirror telescope. He discredited the purported phenomenon of N rays.[1] He was also a writer of science fiction and nonsense verse.His fields of interest included Raman spectroscopy, field emission, optics, and the manufacture of diffraction gratings. The optical effect belonging to diffraction grating known as Wood's anomaly is named after him.[3]He discovered that the darkest area of the Moon in ultraviolet light is the Aristarchus Plateau.[citation needed] In 1909, Wood constructed the first practical liquid mirror astronomical telescope, formed by spinning mercury so that it forms a paraboloidal shape, and investigated its benefits and limitations.[4
