Three American University professors are to share the $100,000 Wolf Foundation Prize in Chemisrry for 1983/84, for their work in magnetic resonance spectroscopy, the Foundation here has announced.
They are Profs. Herbert Gutowsky, of the University of Illinois in Urbana; Harden McConnell, of Stanford University, California; and John Waugh, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, Mass.
The Wolf Foundation committee stated that its choice of chemistry laureates reflected the fact that “… magnetic resonance spectroscopy has made a singular contribution to chemistry in theory, structure and dynamics of molecules in liquids and solids.”
The Wolf prizes in the six fields of mathematics, agriculture, physics, chemistry, medicine and the arts (this year also for architecture) will be awarded at a ceremony in the Knesset in May.
The Wolf Foundation is also presenting this year, for the seventh consecutive year, 171 scholarships to Israeli students for bachelor, masters and doctorate studies, in the total “amount of $112,500.
