Nobel Chemistry belongs to a German
German scientist Gerhard Ertl received a surprise 71th birthday present. That is the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the work on chemical reactions that occur on hard surfaces.
German scientist Gerhard Ertl received a surprise 71th birthday present. That is the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the work on chemical reactions that occur on hard surfaces.
His work has been used in areas such as fertilizer making, production of catalysts and hydrogen fuel cell technology.
Gerhard Ertl, at the German Fritz-Haber Research Institute, said: "This is the biggest birthday present someone could have. When a German was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics yesterday, I thought it would not. there are other Germans who are awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry. This is truly the greatest honor in a scientist's life. "

One member of the Council awarded the Nobel Prize, remarking: "We still think chemistry is what looks like liquid or gas. But hard-surface chemistry is scientifically interesting and also practically important. Chemistry. Learning also happens on hard surfaces Think about rust, the catalyst in the car's exhaust pipe, think about technologies like fuel cells, in all these cases, it's all surface chemistry ".
The modern science of surface chemistry has been around since the 1960s, rooted in processes used in the semiconductor industry. Recognizing its importance, Professor Ertl gradually created a method for surface chemistry by demonstrating how different testing procedures will be used to create a picture. Complete for surface reactions.
This field of science requires advanced devices to see how each layer of atoms and molecules reacts on a pure surface, such as metal. Pollution can dissipate all measurements, so to get a complete picture of the chemical reaction requires high precision and a combination of many different experimental techniques.
The Council awarded the Nobel Prize, Professor Ertl has "laid the foundation for a school of thinking when proving that reliable results can be achieved in this difficult field of research".
"His vision has created a scientific foundation for modern surface chemistry. His method of learning is used in both academic research and the development of chemical processes in industries. Practice".
