Michael Polanyi (1891-1976) is remembered today as both physical chemists and philosopher of science. He is best-known among chemists and physicists for his theoretical and experimental work in chemical kinetics and dynamics, especially his development of the theory of the "transition state". Indeed Polanyi has been called one of the founders of the field of modern chemical dynamics. This paper introduced his life and achievements, especially his contributions to physical chemistry.
- Michael Polanyi,
- Transition state theory,
