LAST WEEK THE Swedish Academy of Sciences honored Baird Professor of Science Dudley R. Herschbach with the Nobel Prize in chemistry for his research in molecular motion. At Harvard, however, Herschbach deserves another kind of recognition--for his commitment to undergraduate teaching and community life...
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...
...crossed the molecular beams in a vacuum, which agitated the molecules. They then used mathematical and experimental methods to determine the velocity and energy content of the resulting reactions, which take place in less then a trillionth of a second...
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...
...part, Herschbach devoted much of his scholarly work to "highly theoretical" consideration of molecular behavior...
