Aug 19, 1994 · Pauling revolutionized chemistry in the 1920s with his application of quantum physics to the study of chemistry. He used the new theory of wave mechanics to explain molecular structures which had baffled chemists for years.
Among the most impactful scientists of the 20th century and the only person to receive two unshared Nobel Prizes, Linus Carl Pauling is credited with helping to establish the fields of quantum chemistry and molecular biology.
The biography of two-time Nobel laureate Linus Pauling may be just as extraordinary for its twists as for its peaks. Why did a boy who studied advanced mathematics at twelve years old nearly decide not to attend college?
