Onsager, Lars, Norwegian born American chemist. He was born in Oslo, Norway on November 27, 1903 and died in Kolar Gables, Florida on October 5, 1976. Onsager completed his university studies in Norway, came to the United States in 1928, taught at Johns Hopkins University, and then went to Yale University to obtain a Ph.D. degree in 1935, where he taught. He was promoted to full professor in 1945 and naturalized as an American citizen in the same year. Onsager's work is comparable to Gibbs's. When Onsager was a graduate student, he set out to solve the rather profound relationship between heat and potential in irreversible processes. During the Second World War, he used his theory to solve the theoretical basis of the gas diffusion method for separating uranium 235 from uranium 238, which is an important step in the development of nuclear bombs and nuclear power. For this reason, he won the Nobel Prize in chemistry in 1968.
