		John Charles Polanyi was born in Berlin, Germany, of Hungarian parents, Michael Polanyi and Magda Elizabeth (Kemeny) Polanyi.
		Polanyi is fond of asking sponsors of basic research who insist on evident promise of applications, whether they would have been far-sighted enough to support studies of barely detectable luminescence as a means to the development of the most powerful lasers in existence.
		John Polanyi was married in 1958 to "Sue" Davidson (Anne Ferrar Davidson) of Toronto, a musician and piano teacher.

		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.
		Polanyi and his research team are able to weakly attach methyl bromine atoms to an underlying silicon crystal in neat, circular patterns of 12 molecules per circle.
		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.

		The Polanyi Society is a scholarly organization whose members are interested in the thought of Michael Polanyi, a scientist and philosopher who lived from 1891 to 1976.
		Michael Polanyi (1891-1976) was a Hungarian medical scientist whose research was mainly done in physical chemistry before he turned into philosophy at the age of 55.
		Primarily, Polanyi meant his work to offer a principle of explanation of the process of scientific discovery, focusing on the stages of problem-finding and initial insight, that is on originality.

	John Rawls -- Philosophy Books and Online Resources
		John Rawls's work on justice has drawn more commentary and aroused wider attention than any other work in moral or political philosophy in the twentieth century.
		Harvard University professor John Rawls destroyed the notion that political philosophy was dead and revived the discussion among intellectuals about the nature of justice.
		Rawls was opposed to the utilitarian position of justice, believing that it was not just the outcome of pure utility, and was also opposed a purely intuitive view of ethics, which states that people have some source of knowledge or intuition that explains moral judgments and the right way of life.

		In another area, Polanyi first detected a transition state species (F...Na...Na in the reaction of F with Na) as a consequence of emission that is substantially altered in wavelength by the effect of the reactive collision.
		Polanyi has made seminal contributions in yet a third research area, surface aligned photochemistry where, for example, photoinduced reactions between co-adsorbed molecules have been observed.
		Polanyi was born in Berlin (his father, Michael Polanyi, was a distinguished professor of physical chemistry there) but in 1933 (Hitler era) moved to England where he was educated in the Manchester Grammer School and later the University of Manchester (Ph.D. In 1956 he joined the faculty of the University of Toronto, Canada.

		John Polanyi has long worked for peace, as well as for the social responsibility of scientists for their work and for the welfare of the world.
		John Polanyi is among those who feel that the U.N. should have a standing force to achieve peace, and I am one of those who believe peace cannot be brought by force, particularly since the U.N., in terms of the Security Council, is in no way representative of the nations of the world.
		For that reason I think John Polanyi is wrong in suggesting that Canada should increase the involvements of its military under the U.N. and work towards a standing military force.

	Polanyi and Teller Clash at Conference
		Scientists John Polanyi and Edward Teller openly clashed when they spoke at The Conference on Nuclear Weapons and the Law on June 15 in Ottawa as Polanyi, responding to Teller, said "I don't want you taking this as a criticism but what you have just said is nonsense."
		Polanyi, the Canadian 1987 Nobel Chemistry prize winner, and Teller, a Hungarian émigré, inventor of the hydrogen bomb and advisor to President Ronald Reagan, offered the lawyers at the Conference opposite prescriptions for the nuclear uncertainties of the 1980s.
		Proof of this point said Polanyi is that "they were recently overwhelmed by a Cessna." On May 28, 1987 a 19 year-old German, Mathias Rust, flew his Cessna from Finland to Moscow and landed in Red Square.

		Polanyi has demonstrated that laser light can be used to imprint molecular-sized shapes on a surface, thereby suggesting the feasibility of a "molecular printing press."
		Polanyi's molecular press would work much like a traditional printing press, which uses ink to transfer a pattern of letters (hence, words) from a printing plate to another surface (such as paper).
		Polanyi's team at the University of Toronto will continue to pursue the work under the auspices of the Canadian Institute for Photonic Innovations (CIPI).

		After establishing his credentials as a scientist, Polanyi was transferred to the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry and was allowed to focus on reaction rates and transition state theory; the group employed gas-flame experiments to measure reaction rates and calculate the activation energies in them.
		Polanyi's interest in economics was stimulated by inflation, unemployment and social upheavals in Germany, debates with his brother, Karl Polanyi, who advocated a form of Christian socialism, economic conditions in the Soviet Union, and the rise of nihilism.
		Polanyi's second son, John Charles Polanyi, was born on January 23, 1929.

		John Polanyi: I would just end, then, with a very general statement, a plea that we step back and realize, as many of you or all of you, as people involved in the political process, know better than I, as a rather narrow technologist, that it is gestures that matter.
		To pick up on John's point, I'd first recommend that this committee may want to look more seriously at how the rampant development of civil conflict in failed states is in itself a source of major insecurity in a variety of ways, including terrorism.
		I think you made an allusion to this as well, Dr. Polanyi, in terms of the need for us to beef up our conventional capabilities to be able to play a role in the world that is more significant, shall we say, than the role we currently play.
