My choice of chemistry as a career was from a practical point of view also not unusual. I read years later that Eugene Wigner, the... 

One other classical pair of papers should be mentioned here. Eugene Wigner, an immigrant physicist of Hungarian birth, and his student Frederick Seitz whom we... 

The physicist Eugene P. Wigner once wrote [wignerCO] a provocative short essay entitled, The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences. In it, he argues that the real reason why mathematics appears to be so effective remains a mystery, concluding his essay with these words ...

This relation is credited to Svante Arrhenius and is called the Arrhenius temperature dependence. Arrhenius was mainly concerned with thermodynamics and chemical equilibrium. Some time later Michael Polanyi and Eugene Wigner showed that simple molecular arguments lead to this temperature dependence, and this form of the rate is frequently called the Polanyi-Wigner relation. They described chemical reactions as the process of crossing a potential energy surface between reactants and products (see Figure 2-3), where f and...
