Home›Chemistry›Field›ChemistryBrowse ByChemistryThis dimension names the field a scientist is remembered for even when their own career spanned much more. Wikipedia notes that Thales "was arguably the first scientist for describing how cosmic events may be seen as natural, not necessarily caused by gods," a single insight that defines his legacy above all else. Browsing this way collects every scientist remembered chiefly for the same field.FactsChemistrySourcesComments (0)Reader Challenges (0)FactsComparisonField EstablishedWell-attested1661 1ChemistryFilter Results301 entriesDisciplineAllAnalytical Chemistry (4)Biochemistry (30)Biology (3)Biophysics (4)Chemistry (250)Crystallography (4)Inorganic Chemistry (10)Materials Science (1)Mathematics (1)Medicine (5)Meteorology (1)Microbiology (1)Mineralogy (1)Molecular Biology (1)Neuroscience (2)Organic Chemistry (21)Pharmacology (1)Physics (13)Thermodynamics (2)EraAll1731 (1)1742 (1)1754 (1)1766 (1)1767 (1)1776 (1)1800 (2)1803 (1)1811 (1)1822 (1)1829 (1)1833 (1)1834 (1)1835 (1)1838 (1)1839 (1)1846 (1)1850 (1)1852 (4)1853 (1)1854 (3)1857 (1)1859 (1)1864 (1)1865 (2)1866 (1)1867 (1)1868 (3)1869 (1)1870 (1)1871 (1)1872 (1)1873 (1)1874 (1)1875 (2)1876 (2)1877 (2)1879 (2)1881 (4)1882 (2)1884 (4)1886 (2)1887 (3)1889 (5)1893 (4)1894 (2)1895 (2)1896 (2)1897 (5)1898 (2)1900 (7)1901 (3)1902 (3)1903 (4)1904 (4)1906 (4)1910 (2)1911 (2)1912 (3)1914 (3)1915 (2)1917 (10)1918 (9)1919 (2)1920 (5)1921 (4)1922 (2)1923 (3)1925 (2)1926 (3)1927 (4)1928 (4)1929 (2)1930 (5)1931 (4)1933 (5)1935 (3)1936 (3)1937 (4)1938 (4)1939 (6)1940 (5)1941 (5)1942 (3)1943 (5)1944 (2)1945 (4)1946 (4)1947 (5)1948 (3)1951 (2)1952 (2)1953 (2)1954 (5)1956 (3)1959 (2)1960 (2)1961 (2)1962 (2)1968 (3)Showing the 100 most common of 130 options.NationalityAllAustralia (1)Australia (1)Austria (5)Austria-Hungary (1)Bangladesh (3)Belgium (1)Bulgaria (1)Canada (4)China (1)Czechoslovakia (1)Denmark (2)Egypt (2)Finland (1)France (17)German Reich (1)Germany (34)Hungary (4)India (9)Iran (1)Iraq (1)Ireland (5)Israel (6)Italy (2)Jamaica (1)Japan (12)Kingdom of Prussia (4)Lithuania (1)Mexico (1)Netherlands (2)New Zealand (1)Norway (3)Pakistan (2)Prince-Bishopric of Speyer (1)Romania (1)Russian Empire (2)South Africa (1)Soviet Union (1)Sweden (11)Switzerland (6)Taiwan (1)Tunisia (1)Turkey (1)United Kingdom (41)United States (146)Weimar Republic (2)InstitutionAllAcademie des Sciences (2)American Association for the Advancement of Science (10)American Chemical Society (11)American Philosophical Society (1)American Physical Society (29)Arizona State University (1)Bell Labs (2)Breakthrough Prize (1)Brown University (1)California Institute of Technology (4)Carnegie Mellon University (1)Case Western Reserve University (2)Cavendish Laboratory (1)Collège de France (2)Columbia University (13)Copley Medal (2)Curie Institute (1)Ecole Polytechnique (1)ETH Zurich (7)Harvard University (6)Heidelberg University (6)Hokkaido University (2)Humboldt University of Berlin (6)Imperial College London (1)Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science (5)Indian Institute of Science (3)Institut Pasteur (1)Iowa State University (1)Jadavpur University (1)Johns Hopkins University (1)Karolinska Institute (1)King's College London (1)Kyoto Prize (1)Lasker Award (1)Leipzig University (1)Los Alamos National Laboratory (1)Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (5)Martin Luther University of Halle-Wittenberg (1)Massachusetts Institute of Technology (13)Max Planck Society (11)Nagoya University (1)National Academy of Sciences (77)Nobel Prize (22)Northwestern University (1)Ochanomizu University (1)Ohio State University (1)Presidency University, Kolkata (1)Princeton University (3)Purdue University (3)RIKEN (2)Rockefeller University (1)Royal Institution (4)Royal Society (44)Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences (3)Smithsonian Institution (1)Stanford University (1)Stockholm University (1)Tel Aviv University (1)University College London (2)University of Arizona (1)University of Bonn (1)University of Calcutta (1)University of California, Berkeley (8)University of California, Los Angeles (1)University of Cambridge (1)University of Chicago (5)University of Cologne (1)University of Copenhagen (2)University of Dhaka (1)University of Edinburgh (2)University of Freiburg (3)University of Glasgow (2)University of Graz (1)University of Göttingen (4)University of Innsbruck (2)University of Manchester (3)University of Oxford (2)University of Pennsylvania (1)University of Pittsburgh (1)University of Rochester (1)University of Salamanca (1)University of Strasbourg (5)University of Sussex (3)University of Texas at Austin (2)University of Tokyo (1)University of Turin (1)University of Tübingen (2)University of Utah (1)University of Vienna (2)University of Wisconsin-Madison (1)University of Wrocław (1)University of Zurich (2)Uppsala University (2)Utrecht University (1)Vilnius University (1)Weizmann Institute of Science (2)Wesleyan University (1)Yale University (1)In GroupAllAnalytical Chemists (7)Biochemists (47)Historical And Foundational Chemists (Pre-1900) (37)Inorganic Chemists (4)Organic Chemists (61)Other Chemists (82)Physical Chemists (46)Polymer And Materials Chemists (17)Show ResultsBrowseCompareSelect all 50Johann DeisenhoferChemistryJohann Joachim BecherChemistryJohn B.
