MEIN LEBEN MIT DER WISSENSCHAFT - GERHARD ERTL ...

Gerhard Ertl: My Life With Science. Who has had the luck to receive the Nobel Prize as a
surprise birthday present? The answer is Gerhard Ertl  born in 1936. In his youth he was
interested in music  chemistry  and physics  and started university in Stuttgart followed by
Paris and Munich. The door to research opened itself in his diploma thesis. His courage showed
itself early on when he was a PhD student  and led him to the novel field of surface science
and so to heterogeneous catalysis where he became one of the great pioneers. He discovered at
an atomic level the mechanisms and kinetics of ammonia synthesis and CO oxidation. He
identified the active centers of catalysts - and his line of thought shaped current
heterogeneous catalysis that is so important for modern industry and society. Time after time
he set out basic concepts for solving important scientific and technical problems - with
patience and without any fuss. Typical for Gerhard Ertl! l-i-c.org
