Libby, Willard Frank US chemist whose development in 1947 of radiocarbon dating as a means of determining the age of organic or fossilized material won him a Nobel prize in 1960. Libby was born in Grand Valley, Colorado, and studied at the University of California, Berkeley. During World War II he worked on the development of the atomic bomb (the Manhattan Project). In 1945 he became professor at the University of Chicago's Institute for Nuclear Studies. He was a member of the US Atomic Energy Commission 1954-59, and then became director of the Institute of Geophysics at the University of California. Having worked on the separation of uranium isotopes for producing fissionable uranium-238 for the atomic bomb, he turned his attention to carbon-14, a radioactive isotope that occurs in the tissues of all plants and animals, decaying at a steady rate after their death. He and his co-workers accurately dated ancient Egyptian relics by measuring the amount of radiocarbon they contained, using a sensitive Geiger counter. By 1947 they had developed the technique so that it could date objects up to 50,000 years old.

Britannica CD Index Articles Dictionary Help Libby, Willard Frank (b . Dec. 17, 1908, Grand Valley, Colo., U.S.d. Sept. 8, 1980, Los Angeles, Calif.), American chemist whose technique of radioactive -carbon dating provided an extremely valuable tool for archaeologists, anthropologists, and earth scientists. For this development he was honoured with the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1960. Libby received his Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, where he was a member of the faculty from 1933 to 1945. He was with the Institute for Nuclear Studies at the University of Chicago (1945-59) and then was professor of chemistry at the University of California, Los Angeles, until his death. While associated with the Manhattan Project (1941-45), Libby helped develop a method for separating uranium isotopes, an essential step in the creation of the atomic bomb. In 1946 he showed that tritium, the heaviest isotope of hydrogen, was produced by cosmic radiation. The following year he and his students developed the carbon-14 dating technique. Libby also served on the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission (1955-59) and wrote the book Radiocarbon Dating Related Propaedia Topics: Development of radiometric dating Properties of nuclear energy states General nuclear phenomena and reactions

Libby was born in Grand Valley, Colorado. He received his B.S. (1931) and Ph.D. (1933) degrees in chemistry from the University of California, Berkeley, where he then became a lecturer and later assistant professor. Libby spent the 1930s building sensitive geiger counters to measure weak natural and artificial radioactivity. In 1941 he joined Berkeley's chapter of Alpha Chi Sigma. Awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship, he spent most of 1941 at Princeton University. After the start of World War II he worked on the Manhattan Project at Columbia University with Nobel laureate Harold Urey. Libby was responsible for the gaseous diffusion separation and enrichment of the Uranium-235 which was used in the atomic bomb on Hiroshima. In 1945 he became a professor at the University of Chicago. In 1954, he was appointed to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. In 1959, he became Professor of Chemistry at University of California, Los Angeles, a position he held until his retirement in 1976. He taught honors freshman chemistry from 1959 to 1963 (in keeping with a University tradition that senior faculty teach this class). He was Director of the University of California statewide Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP) for many years including the lunar landing time. He married Leona Woods Marshall, a UCLA professor of environmental engineering in 1966. He also started the first Environmental Engineering program at UCLA in 1972.
