Chemical physicists

Dudley Robert Herschbach (born June 18, 1932) is an American chemist at Harvard University. He won the 1986 Nobel Prize in Chemistry jointly with Yuan T. Lee and John C. Polanyi "for their contributions concerning the dynamics of chemical elementary processes". Herschbach and Lee specifically worked with molecular beams, performing crossed molecular beam experiments that enabled a detailed molecular-level understanding of many elementary reaction processes. Herschbach is a member of the Board of Sponsors of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists.

Raymond K. Sheline (March 31, 1922 – February 10, 2016) was a member of the Manhattan Project and spent much of his career as a professor in chemistry and physics at Florida State University. Sheline's research focused on spectroscopic studies of atomic nuclei and molecular structures.
