The life of Henry Eyring

In this era of blurring boundaries between various disciplines of science and technology, Henry Eyring stands tall as one of the earliest examples. Starting with a degree in mining, to becoming one of the greatest theoretical chemists ever; it was a journey guided by passion and curiosity. Eyring??s first brush with reaction kinetics came at the age of 23, after which his enthusiasm for the subject continued unabated. ??Potential Energy Surfaces??, that he developed along with Polyani and his ??Activated Complex Theory??, completely changed the face of reaction kinetics. This article will cover the exciting life of Eyring.
