Working with Lee, who was then a Harvard post-doctoral fellow, Herschbach developed molecular beam and spectroscopic techniques that allow researchers to observe the collisions of molecules...
...Herschbach] lines up the molecules and he can determine what angles, and what patterns of movement they take as they dance," Polanyi said. "My methods tell you about vibration and rotation...
...Usually, chemistry deals with huge crowds of molecules at once," Herschbach said. "But as you know, crowds don't always reveal the character of individuals very well...
...Herschbach said yesterday that he first considered using beams to study molecular behavior when, as a Stanford undergraduate in the 1950s, a professor mentioned early laser beams...
...professor made a reference, a sentence really, about the early lasers and how they affected molecules, and I said `Gee, that's how I'd like to study Chemistry.'" Herschbach recalled...
