Fritz Haber

Fritz Haber was a chemist known for his significant contributions to physical and industrial chemistry, particularly through the development of the Haber-Bosch process, which synthesizes ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen. This process revolutionized agriculture by enabling the production of fertilizers, greatly increasing crop yields and supporting global food supply. However, Haber’s work also had controversial implications, as ammonia's production was later used in explosives during World War I. His legacy reflects both the potential of scientific innovation to enhance life and the ethical dilemmas that can arise from it.
