Harold Urey

1893–1981

Harold Urey (1893–1981) was an American physical chemist whose pioneering work on isotopes earned him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1934 for the discovery of deuterium. He later made foundational contributions to the study of the origin of life, including the Miller-Urey experiment, and was a key figure in the Manhattan Project. Urey was also a vocal advocate for nuclear disarmament and space exploration.
