One of the most significant discoveries in the field is the development of the Haber-Bosch process by Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch. This process, which synthesizes ammonia from nitrogen and hydrogen gases, has had a profound impact on agriculture and the global production of fertilizers.
Another groundbreaking discovery is the Ziegler-Natta catalyst, developed by Karl Ziegler and Giulio Natta. This catalyst is essential for the polymerization of alkenes, leading to the production of various plastics.
