However, in 1924, [Richard C.] Tolman, a theoretical physicist who studied thermodynamics and light interacting with molecules, described how... 

Richard Tolman was professor of physical chemistry and mathematical physics at Caltech. See Linus Pauling in interview with John Heilbron, March 27, 1964, 2d of 2 sessions, 20, SHQP, Berkeley.

In the summer of 1914, his acceptance in hand and the 10 out-of-state tuition paid, Don arrived, via rail and steamship, in San Francisco to begin his college education at UC Berkeley. His freshman year was decisive by the summer recess he had found his calling through the inspired teaching of his chemistry professor, Joel Hildebrand and a young lab instructor Richard Tolman. 

The ramifications of the atomic bomb project reached such proportions that in August 1943 it was decided to establish a Combined Policy Committee, composed at the outset of Secretary of War Stimson, Dr. Bush, Dr. Conant for the United States, Field Marshall Sir John Dill and Colonel J.J. Llewellin, for the United Kingdom and Mr. C.D. Howe for Canada. Col. Llewellin was later replaced by Sir Ronald I. Campbell who in turn was succeeded by the Earl of Halifax the late Field Marshal Dill was succeeded by Field Marshal Sir Henry Maitland Wilson. The United States members have had as their scientific adviser. Dr. Richard C. Tolman the British, Sir James Chadwick and the Canadian, Dean C.J. Mackenzie. 

A third test of the big hang theory is the search for cosmic micro-wave background (CMB). As early as 1934, the American astrophysicist Richard Tolman (1881-1948) showed that radiation produced... 

According to the April 1921 American University Courier, He [Richard C. Tolman] is the man who developed the famous toxic smoke candle, planned to be used by the allied armies in the spring drive, but which was unnecessary on account of the signing of the armistice. ... 

With the emergence of a mineral, processes of its dissolution and formation run on its smface. The mechanisms of these processes include similar elemental reactions, which nm in opposite directions. Both include diffusion, ion exchange, adsorption and desorption and chemical reactions in the Helmholtz layer. Both are accompanied by absorption or release of heat. As a result, the solution s temperature changes. That is why, despite a guarantee of their mechanisms total identity, in modeling at the level of elemental reactions is acceptable and the principle of microsccopic reversibility of reactions introduced in 1924 by Richard Chace Tolman (188-1948) is used. It is assumed under this principle that the processes of dissolution and minerogenesis run through a series of the same elemental reactions (in trail) but in the opposite directions and maybe described by one common equation ... 

Robert Oppenheimer also commited himself at that time to exploring the thermonuclear—after the war was won—in a letter to Richard Tolman on September 20, 1944. T should like, he emphasized, ... to put in writing at an early date the recommendation that the subject of initiating violent thermonuclear reactions be pursued with vigor and diligence, and promptly. A way station on the road to a full-scale thermonuclear might...
