Haber The Film

Check out the abovementioned link. Believe it or not, the chemist behind ammonia also fathered modern chemical weapons. The sypnosis has a pretty apt description of his life thou - his wife committed suicide in protest of his research into chemical weapons. I think it would still make a great movie, and remind people that chemists too are not less significant than physicists. Physicists make nulcear bombs. Chemists make VX gas shells.

It was a Chemist who made Plutonium in the first place. And it was a Chemist who developed the methods to obtain the correct isotopes of Plutonium and Uranium for fission. He was given his own element for his service, 106.

Those are some old looking bowler hats. I thought I would never be able to use bowler in a sentence.

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex
