Close Please copy/paste the following text to properly cite this HowStuffWorks article: Haber, Fritz (1868-1934) was a German physical chemist most renowned for synthesizing ammonia from its essential elements, nitrogen and hydrogen, for which he won the 1918 Nobel Prize in chemistry. From this work, he also derived an economical process for mass production of nitrogen fertilizers, which greatly benefited worldwide agriculture. Haber studied at the University of Berlin, the University of Heidelberg, and at the Charlottenburg Technische Hochschule, where he earned his Ph.D. degree in 1891. He also did post-doctoral research at Zurich's Eidgenssische Technische Hochschule as well as the University of Jena. He worked in his father's dye importing business for six months during this time. In 1894, he became an assistant of technical chemist Hans Bunte at the Karlsruhe Technische Hochschule in Baden, and later worked with Carl Engler, also then at Karlsruhe. Under their influence, Haber became interested in the emerging field of physical chemistry and mastered the discipline despite never having studied it formally.

44. Haber, Fritz Haber, Fritz (18681934) German chemist whose conversion of atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia opened the way for the synthetic fertilizer industry. http://www.cartage.org.lb/en/themes/Biographies/MainBiographies/H/Haber/1.html

Haber, Fritz German chemist whose conversion of atmospheric nitrogen to ammonia opened the way for the synthetic fertilizer industry. His study of the combustion of hydrocarbons led to the commercial 'cracking' or fractional distillation of natural oil (petroleum) into its components (for example, diesel, petrol, and paraffin). In electrochemistry, he was the first to demonstrate that oxidation and reduction take place at the electrodes; from this he developed a general electrochemical theory. At the outbreak of World War I in 1914, Haber was asked to devise a method of producing nitric acid for making high explosives. Later he became one of the principals in the German chemical-warfare effort, devising weapons and gas masks, which led to protests against his Nobel prize 1918. Haber was born in Bresslau, Silesia (now Wroclaw, Poland), and educated at Berlin, Heidelberg, and the Berlin Technische Hochschule. He was professor at Karlsruhe 1906-11, and then was made director of the newly established Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physical Chemistry in Berlin. When Adolf Hitler rose to power in 1933, Haber sought exile in Britain, where he worked at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge.
