William Francis Giauque William Francis Giauque Canadian-born American physical chemist and winner of the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1949 for his studies of the properties of matter at temperatures close to absolute zero. After earning his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1922, Giauque joined the chemistry faculty there and held posts at the school until 1981. In 1927 he proposed a new method of achieving extremely low temperatures using a process called adiabatic demagnetization. By 1933 he had a working apparatus that obtained a temperature within one-tenth of a degree of absolute zero (- 273.15 C). His research confirmed the third law of thermodynamics, which states that the entropy of ordered solids reaches zero at the absolute zero of temperature. In the course of his low-temperature studies of oxygen, Giauque discovered with Herrick L. Johnston the oxygen isotopes of mass 17 and 18. Main Page About Us http://www.nobel-winners.com/

Close Please copy/paste the following text to properly cite this HowStuffWorks article: Giauque, William Francis (1895-1982), an American chemist, won the 1949 Nobel Prize in chemistry for pioneer work in cryogenics, the field of very low temperatures. He was the first to obtain a temperature close to minus 273.15°C (minus 459.67°F), absolute zero. From information gained at these low temperatures, he accurately predicted the existence of two isotopes of oxygen. This led to the recalibration of atomic weight scales. Giauque also proved that the third law of thermodynamics is a basic natural law. His findings have led to improvements in the production of substances such as gasoline, glass, rubber, and steel. Giauque was born of American parents in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. His family lived in Michigan until he was 13 and then moved back to Ontario, after his father's death. He attended the Niagara Falls Collegiate and Vocational Institute and then worked in the laboratory of the Hooker Electro-Chemical Company in Niagara Falls, New York. Giauque studied at the University of California at Berkeley, earning his doctorate in 1922. He began teaching at Berkeley that same year and spent his entire academic career there, except for several years during World War II (1939-1945) when he worked for the United States government, designing mobile liquid-oxygen units for the military.

He attended public grammar schools principally in Michigan. Following the death of his father, in 1908, the family returned to Niagara Falls, Canada, where he received his secondary school education in the Niagara Falls Collegiate Institute. After graduation he sought employment in various power plants at Niagara Falls for financial reasons and because he had planned for many years to become an electrical engineer and wanted preliminary experience. He was unable to obtain this type of work. At this point chance entered decisively in the form of a newspaper advertisement of the Hooker Electro-Chemical Company in Niagara Falls, New York, which led him to accept employment in their laboratory. The well-organized operations in this chemical plant, together with problems which he saw in course of solution, captured his interest and caused him to decide to become a chemical engineer.

Although his undergraduate work at the university was selected with the idea of an engineering career, he soon acquired a liking for fundamental research.

Close Please copy/paste the following text to properly cite this HowStuffWorks article: Sabatier, Paul (1854-1941) was a French organic chemist. He won the 1912 Nobel Prize in chemistry for his method of using nickel as a hydrogenation catalyst. A catalyst is a substance that increases the speed of a chemical reaction without being consumed by the reaction. Hydrogenation is a chemical process that adds hydrogen to a substance. Sabatier showed that ethylene gas could be converted to ethane gas by passing the ethylene over powdered nickel. Sabatier shared the prize with another French chemist, François Auguste Victor Grignard, who independently did related research. Sabatier was born on Nov. 5, 1854, in Carcassonne, France. He graduated from the École Normale Supérieure in 1877. The next year he taught physics at a secondary school in Nîmes. In 1878, he became a professor at the Collège de France in Paris. He received his doctorate in the physical sciences from the college in 1880. For the next year, Sabatier was a professor of physics at the Faculté des Sciences at Bordeaux. In 1882, he became an assistant professor of physics at the Faculté des Sciences at Toulouse. In 1883, he began to teach chemistry there as well. Sabatier became professor of chemistry in 1884 and chaired the chemistry department for the rest of his career. From 1905 to 1929, he was also dean of the university's Faculty of Science.
