Fritz Haber (1868–1934), German chemist, died at the age of 65 on January 29, 1934. Haber was a talented innovator, best known for his work developing the Haber-Bosch process. This process enabled ammonia to be produced from nitrogen and hydrogen, allowing agriculture to expand due to increased soil fertility. This process is still in use today, making Haber's an integral figure in the development of modern farming. Haber worked in close collaboration with Carl Bosch and other chemists at BASF and won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1918 for his breakthroughs in ammonia synthesis. He also developed chemical weapons for use in World War I, and arguably inadvertently gave rise to the use of such weapons in future conflicts. Haber's exceptional drive and visionary natural resource exploration led to a revolutionary advancement in chemical knowledge, and continues to influence industrial chemistry into our modern age.
