		Polanyi's scientific interests were diverse, embracing chemical kinetics, x-ray diffraction and the absorbtion of gases at solid surfaces.
		Polanyi criticised the notion of objectivity and suggested the importance of evolved knowledge, ideas that were to influence the thought and work of Thomas Kuhn in the 1960s.
		Polanyi was a Fellow of the Royal Society and a Fellow of Merton College, Oxford.

	Polanyi, John Charles
		John's father, Michael, was an accomplished chemist and philosopher who did pioneering work on the mechanisms of elemental reactions.
		Polanyi had already directed his work to the study of the motions of newly born reaction products, and to the telltale imprints of the forces that created them.
		Polanyi's contributions to science were recognized on a global scale in 1986, when he shared the Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Dudley Herschenbach and Yuan T. Lee for developing "a new field of research in chemistry...

		Polanyi studied radiation from strongly exothermic (heat-emitting) reactions to see how the released energy was distributed in the reaction products.
		Born in Berlin, the son of the Hungarian-British physical chemist and philosopher Michael Polanyi, he followed in his father's footsteps and studied chemistry at Manchester University, England.
		Polanyi carried on his research into reaction dynamics, and has published numerous papers on science policy and on control of armaments.

	Polanyi, John C.
		Born to an expatriate Hungarian family, Polanyi was reared in England and attended Manchester University (Ph.D., 1952; D.Sc., 1964).
		Polanyi developed a technique that is known as infrared chemiluminescence based on the observation that molecules, when excited, emit infrared light.
		By means of spectroscopic analysis of the changes in emitted light that take place during a chemical reaction, he was able to trace the exchange of chemical bonds, thus helping to detail the disposal of excess energy that occurs during the process of chemical reaction.

		Because Polanyi understood the source of the feeble light emissions in his experiment, he was able to predict exactly what kind of energy needed to be applied to make this chemical reaction take place.
		When Polanyi was 11 years old his father, who was a chemistry professor at the University of Manchester in England, sent him to Canada so that he would not be hurt during World War II bombings in England.
		Polanyi’s experiments began a new field of chemistry called reaction dynamics, the prediction of the pattern of the motion of molecules in a chemical reaction.
