...Physicists Arthur Holly Compton and Robert Andrews Millikan, Physiologist Karl Landsteiner of the U. S.; Chemists Hans Fischer and Friedrich Bergius, Physiologist Hans Spemann, Biologist Otto Warburg of Germany: Physiologists Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins and Edgar Douglas Adrian of England: Centrifugist Theodor Svedberg of Sweden; Physiologist August Krogh of Denmark...
...President Conant, crack researcher in chlorophyll (the green coloring matter of plants), graciously invited his outstanding rival, Chemist Dr. Hans Fischer of the University of Munich. A resounding roll of Nobel Prize winners included three physicists: Arthur Holly Compton (Chicago), Niels Bohr (Copenhagen), Werner Heisenberg (Leipzig); three chemists: Friedrich Bergius (Heidelberg), Sir Frederick Gowland Hopkins (Cambridge), Theodor Svedberg (Upsala, Sweden...
Heading the list of Nobel winners will be Albert Einstein who will discuss some aspects of physics. The others are Neils Bohr, physics; Hans Fischer, chemistry; Arthur H. Compton, physics; Sir Frederick G. Hopkins, physiology and medicine; Robert A. Millikan, physics; Friedrich Bergius, chemistry; August Krogh, physiology and medicine; Theodore Svedberg, chemistry; Otto Warburg, physiology and medicine; Karl Landsteiner, physiology and medicine; Edgar D. Adrian, physiology and medicine; Werner Heisenberg, physics; and Hans Spemann, physiology and medicine...
...Germans whose outstanding work has been the commercialization of scientific processes developed in research laboratories. They were Professor Carl Bosch of Heidelberg, chairman of the I. G. Farbenindustrie (dye trust)-for his process for large-scale production of ammonia from atmospheric nitrogen-and his fellow townsman, Professor Friedrich Bergius-for his work in obtaining gasoline from coal. For the Nobel Prize in Physics the Academy could agree on no one, postponed the award until next year...
...Bergius is the physical antithesis of his chief in the Farbenindustrie: he is tall, thin, has no top hair, wears a monocle. Last week he was on his way to Pittsburgh to address the International Coal Conference with another German, Dr. Franz Fischer of the Kaiser-Wilhelm Institute. His method of hydrogenating anthracite under 100 atmospheres pressure at 100° C. to produce synthetic petroleum he turned over to the dye trust and went on to new discoveries. He believes hydrogenation of petroleum would produce 105 gallons of gasoline from 100 gallons of oil, expects this method to be used...
