Achievement in science

All these investments amounting to hundreds of millions of marks, resulted from purely private initiative, free from governmental planning, and in continuation of Farben s old established policy to put into practice the newest achievements in science and technique in all fields of its activities. 

There seems to be a remarkable consistency between Buckminster Fuller s evaluation of chemistry ( chemists consider volumes as material domains and not merely as abstractions, see Chapter 1— Introduction) and Kitaigorodskii s geometrical model of crystal structures. In one of his last statements Kitaigorodskii (Figure 9-54) said (when asked about his most important achievements in science) I ve shown that the molecule is a bodyd One can take it, one can hit with it it has mass, volume, form, hardness. I followed the ideas of Democritos... [100],... 

Combinatorial chemistry is one of the important achievements in science in recent years.[116] In the combinatorial synthesis approach, the traditional synthesis rules are replaced by rehable reactions and simple separation methods, allowing the preparation of a large number of products at the same time under the same reaction conditions in a specific reactor, together with rapid analysis and high-throughput screening processes.

As a true Renaissance man, Zwicky believed in the human dimension of our lives and he was involved in various charitable activities related to education. These emotionally charged activities complemented his mathematics- and physics-based research and made him a complete human, balancing his emotional and rational thinking. Most likely, it was one of the keys to his extraordinary achievements in science.

However, the chemist from Lecce maintained close, friendly contracts with Italy and with the Florence school. In fact, thanks to his influence, Hugo Schiff was elected an honorary member of the Romanian Society of Sciences in 1904 and, on the occasion of Schiff s 75th birthday, the Academy conferred on him a scroll of recognition for outstanding achievements in science.
