George Charles de Hevesy (born as Hevesy György, also known as Georg Karl von Hevesy) (August 1, 1885 in Budapest – July 5, 1966) was a Hungarian Radiochemist who was important in the development of the tracer method where radioactive tracers are used to study chemical processes, e.

Metabolism is the set of Chemical reactions that occur in living Organisms in order to maintain Life. For this he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1943. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry (Nobelpriset i kemi is awarded annually by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences to scientists in the various fields of Chemistry.

He started studying chemistry at the University of Budapest for one year, and at the Technical University of Berlin for several months, but changed to the University of Freiburg. The Technical University of Berlin ( Berlin Institute of Technology, TUB, TU Berlin, German Technische Universität Berlin) is located There he came in contact with Ludwig Gattermann and Rießenfeld. Ludwig Gattermann ( 20 April, 1860 &ndash 20 June, 1920) was a German Chemist who significant contributor to both In 1906 he started his PhD thesis with Georg Franz Julius Meyer. In 1908 he got a position at the ETH. When Richard Lorenz left for the University of Frankfurt and Richard Willstätter tried to convince him to stay in Zurich he decided to go to the University of Karlsruhe to work with Carl Bosch. Richard Lorenz (born March 1, 1901, date of death unknown is an Austrian Bobsledder who competed from the late 1920s to the mid 1930s Richard Martin Willstätter ( August 13, 1872 – August 3, 1942) was a German Organic chemist whose study of the structure The University of Karlsruhe, also known as Fridericiana, was founded in 1825 Carl Bosch ( August 27, 1874 &ndash April 26, 1940) was a German Chemist and Engineer who won the To learn new methods he joined the laboratory of Rutherford at the University of Manchester in 1911. The University of Manchester is a " red brick " civic University located in Manchester, England. In 1949 he was elected Franqui Professor in the University of Ghent.

When Germany invaded Denmark in World War II, he dissolved the gold Nobel Prizes of Max von Laue and James Franck into aqua regia to prevent the Nazis from stealing them.

The Niels Bohr Institute is part of the Niels Bohr Institute for Astronomy Physics and Geophysics of the University of Copenhagen. After the war, he returned to find the solution undisturbed and precipitated the gold out of the acid. The Nobel Society then recast the Nobel Prizes using the original gold. [1]

In 1923 he was a co-discoverer of Hafnium (Latin Hafnia for "Copenhagen", the home town of Niels Bohr), with Dirk Coster, validating the original 1869 prediction of Mendeleev.

George de Hevesy married Pia Riis in 1924. They had one son and three daughters.
