Linus Pauling, American theoretical physical chemist who became the only person to have won two unshared Nobel Prizes. His first prize (1954) was awarded for research into the nature of the chemical bond and its use in elucidating molecular structure; the second (1962) recognized his efforts to ban

"A couple of days after my talk, there was a man in my office from the FBI saying, 'Who told you how much plutonium there is in an atomic bomb?' And I said, 'Nobody told me, I figured it out.'" In the late 1940s, few Americans had any idea what the long-term effects of nuclear radiation might be, and their government wasn't telling them. Dr. Linus Pauling had already won renown for his application of modern physics to the problems of chemistry when he took on the unpopular task of informing…

February 28 1901 – August 19 1994: Linus Pauling: "Science cannot be stopped. Man will gather knowledge no matter what the consequences – and we cannot predict what they will be. Science will go on — whether we are pessimistic,or are optimistic, as I am.I know that great, interesting,and valuable discoveries can be made and will be made…But I know also that still more interesting discoveries will be made that I have not the imagination to describe—and I am awaiting them, full of…

In 1954, Dr. Linus Pauling, received a Nobel Prize for his discovery of the magnetic properties of #hemoglobin. Pauling found that iron, and many electrolytic salts in our blood, circulate bio-magnetically. Therefore, the proximity of a magnetic field may result in an acceleration of #circulation and the transfer of energy to all areas of the body. #magnets #magneticbracelet #sergiolub #health

Crick and Watson wanted to work on DNA's structure, but they couldn't approach it as Wilkins and Franklin were — through X-ray diffraction. First, Crick was a friend of Wilkins and didn't want to step on his toes. Second, Watson and Crick didn't have the high-quality DNA samples necessary for X-ray diffraction. But Watson and Crick had
