Extractions: Chemistry at Caltech is steeped in a tradition of excellence alumnus Linus Pauling , awarded the Nobel Prize in 1954, revolutionized the field with his insights into the nature of the chemical bond; alumnus Edwin McMillan was awarded the Nobel in 1951 for his discovery of element 93 (neptunium); and alumnus William Lipscomb won in 1976 for his studies of the structure of boranes. Arnold Beckman , founder of Beckman Instruments, and Gordon Moore , founder of Intel and originator of Moore's Law, both earned their doctoral degrees in chemistry at Caltech. This tradition continues. Rudolph Marcus (1992 Nobel Prize for his theory of electron transfer in chemical reactions), Ahmed Zewail (1999 Nobel Prize for his study of chemical reactions on the femtosecond timescale), and
