Extractions: Language of Material : eng George Porter was born in Stainforth in Yorkshire on 6 December 1920. He was educated at Thorne Grammar School, 1931-1938, and Leeds University, 1938-1941 where he was Ackroyd Scholar. The teaching of M.G. Evans at Leeds was influential in inspiring an interest in physical chemistry and chemical kinetics. During his final honours year he took a special course in radio physics which led to service, 1941-1945, as a Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve Radar Officer in the Western Approaches and the Mediterranean. His wartime training in electronics and pulse techniques was to prove useful later in suggesting new approaches to chemical problems. In 1945 he went to the University of Cambridge to undertake postgraduate research with R.G.W. Norrish in the field of chemical kinetics and photochemistry. His research involved the study, by flow techniques, of free radicals produced in gaseous photochemical reactions. The idea of using short pulses of light, of shorter duration than the lifetime of the free radicals, occurred to Porter, and he began the construction of an apparatus for this purpose in the early summer of 1947 and, together with Norrish, applied this to the study of gaseous free radicals and to combustion. Their collaboration continued until 1954 when Porter left Cambridge. His subsequent work was mainly concerned with showing how the flash-photolysis method could be extended and applied to a great variety of problems in physics, chemistry and biology. He has made contributions to other techniques, particularly that of radical trapping and matrix stabilisation.

Extractions: Last Updated: 04 September 2002 (The Independent - London) GEORGE PORTER was one of the most distinguished scientists of the last century, making fundamental contributions to our understanding of chemical reactions; his initiatives on the public understanding of science were no less important. Much if not all of chemistry is about reactions between atoms and molecules. Can one define the transition from reactants to products in a chemical reaction? The traditional method was to measure the kinetics of reactions by mixing reactants and observing the changing concentrations of reactants and products with time. The existence of short-lived intermediates and transition states could only be inferred as part of suggestions of the mechanisms of reactions. Moving from inference to observation was the challenge which Porter accepted in 1947. George Porter was a Yorkshireman, born near Doncaster in 1920. His secondary education at Thorne Grammar School led to a near obsession with experimental chemistry which his father facilitated by providing him with a mobile laboratory. The view was taken that studies of chemical explosions, still a matter of considerable activity, were best conducted outside the home.

Extractions: Lord Porter of Luddenham, OM, Scientist 1920-2002 (Filed: 02/09/2002)Professor the Lord Porter of Luddenham, better known as Sir George Porter, who has died aged 81, was one of the most highly regarded and well-known scientists in Britain; he won a Nobel Prize, became director of the Royal Institution and president of the Royal Society, and had a gift for communicating his enthusiasm for science. It was for his work on techniques for observing and studying extremely fast chemical reactions during the processes of combustion, explosion and chain reaction that, with fellow Cambridge scientist Ronald Norrish, and with Manfred Eigen, of Gottingen, he shared the Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1967. When Porter had joined Professor Norrish at Cambridge after the war, Norrish was trying to study the fragments of molecules made when certain chemicals are exposed to intense beams of light. He and his team had set up a huge arc lamp and were attempting, without much success, to capture the fleeting existence of these fragments - known as free radicals. But the free radicals produced existed too briefly to be detected, let alone studied. Surmising that the problem lay in the light source, Norrish sent Porter to a company in Preston to see if he could find something better. When Porter was shown a huge flash unit that had been used during the war for taking reconnaissance photographs, it dawned on him that the mistake had been to use a continuous beam of light rather than short pulses - flashes - which were of shorter duration than the lifetime of the free radicals.
APC: United Nations > Articles > The Heidelberg Appeal of Chemistry, University of Toronto Chemistry- Canada *lord GeorgePorter- nobel Prize (Chemistry), Pr., Chariman, Photomolec. http://www.americanpolicy.org/un/theheidelberg.htm
Extractions: Liberty Links Return to article index The Heidelberg Appeal was publicly released at the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. By the end of the 1992 summit, 425 scientists and other intellectual leaders had signed the appeal. Since then, word of mouth has prompted thousands more scientists to lend their support. Today, more than 4,000 signatories, from over 100 countries have signed it, including more than 70 Nobel Prize winners. In spite of this spontaneous and growing support from the world's scientific community, the Heidelberg Appeal has received very little media attention. Neither a statement of corporate interests nor a denial of environmental problems, the Heidelberg Appeal is a quiet call for reason and a recognition of scientific progress as the solution to, not the cause of, the health and environmental problems that we face. The appeal expresses a conviction that modern society is the best equipped in human history to solve the world's ills, provided that they do not sacrifice science, intellectual honesty and common sense to political opportunism and irrational fears. We want to make our full contribution to the preservation of our common heritage, the Earth.

Extractions: article A war surplus searchlight was the unlikely piece of equipment which a young English chemist, George Porter, pressed into the service of science during the late 1940s. As a Cambridge researcher following five years in the Royal Navy, he was investigating chemical reactions thought until that time to be instantaneous in nature and, thus, unmeasurable in the laboratory. Porter's ingenuity paid off Barely 20 years later, he shared the 1967 Nobel Prize in chemistry (with Manfred Eigen and Ronald Norrish) for studies on what became known merely as "very fast" reactions. After serving for two decades as Director and Fullerian Professor of Chemistry at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, Sir George Porter presides today over the Royal Society of London. Unlike the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, which has statutory duties as an arm of government, and in contrast to the academies of Eastern Europe, which are directly involved in the financing of science, the Royal Society is an entirely private, independent body. Traditionally close to government as a source of informed but informal advice, the Society has found itself drawn increasingly into public debate about the funding of research. It was this aspect of the Society's role with which Bernard Dixon, European editor of The Scientist
