MY LIFE WITH SCIENCE - GERHARD ERTL GEBUNDEN

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
