Metal Print : Portrait of Lord George Porter, Nobel chemist
Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Portrait of Lord George Porter, Nobel chemist
Sir George Porter, British physical chemist (born 1920). In World War II Porter worked with radar as a naval officer. From 1945 he worked in Cambridge with R.G.W. Norrish on the detection and study of the short-lived radical intermediates involved in photochemical gas reactions. Porter developed the idea of using a short high-energy flash to break up the gas to form radicals and excited molecules. A second flash, after a brief delay, served to give a spectrum of the contents of the reaction tube so that the radicals could be detected and their lifetimes calculated. In 1966 he became Director of the Royal Institution; he shared the Nobel Prize in 1967 with Norrish and M. Eigen

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the distinguished portrait of Lord George Porter, a renowned British physical chemist and Nobel laureate. Born in 1920, Porter's remarkable journey began during World War II when he served as a naval officer working with radar technology. After the war, Porter joined forces with R. G. W. Norrish at Cambridge University to delve into the fascinating realm of photochemical gas reactions. Their groundbreaking research focused on detecting and studying short-lived radical intermediates involved in these reactions. It was here that Porter conceived the ingenious idea of utilizing a powerful high-energy flash to break up gases, forming radicals and excited molecules. By employing a second flash after a brief delay, they were able to capture spectra of the reaction tube contents, enabling them to detect these elusive radicals and calculate their lifetimes. In recognition of his exceptional contributions to chemistry, George Porter was honored with numerous accolades throughout his career. In 1966, he assumed the esteemed position of Director at the Royal Institution. The pinnacle of his achievements came in 1967 when he shared the prestigious Nobel Prize in Chemistry alongside Norrish and M. Eigen for their groundbreaking work. This mesmerizing portrait serves as an enduring tribute to Lord George Porter's brilliance as both a scientist and leader within the scientific community—a true pioneer who revolutionized our understanding of photochemistry through his innovative techniques and unwavering dedication to advancing knowledge in this field.
