9 KJEMI 2 2026 her profession as Professor of Teacher Education at NTNU. One of the secrets of her success is her commitment to an interdisciplinary approach to her scholarship. In her own words: «Over the course of my academic career, I have collaborated extensively with chemists and other natural scientists as well as with educators within these fields, with historians, philosophers and sociologists of science, with pedagogy scholars and with language experts and researchers of the Norwegian language, and even with a political scientist. The result of this is a foot in different fields and knowledge of quite distinct research methods and theoretical perspectives.» The Award committee noted: «Professor Lykknes has contributed to an amazing array of research topical areas including: history of women scientists, studies of the collaborations of couples in science, history of the periodic table, discovery of the chemical elements, history of chemical education, how twentieth-century chemical engineers shaped the relationships between the academy and industries, and the application of the history of science to teach science.» Alan Rocke especially noted her treatment of the work of Marie Curie as «revealing the complex nature of scientific discovery itself.» Annette Lykknes is at the center of the worldwide community of historians of chemistry. She is now the Editor-in-Chief of the flagship journal Ambix. She is currently the Chair of the Division of the History of Chemistry of the European Chemical Society. While her publication record is sterling, and her research is groundbreaking, her greatest achievements have been as a leader. HIST is thrilled to honor Professor Annette Lykknes with the 2026 Joseph B. Lambert Award for Outstanding Achievement in the History of Chemistry. ● Velkommen til møte om kvantekjemiens historie Professor emeritus Helge Kragh fra Niels Bohr Instituttet i København kommer til Blindern 12. mai for å foredra for oss. Møtet vil finne sted i Georg Sverdrups hus kl. 13.00. Informasjon kommer fra Faggruppen for kjemiens historie. Fra Bohr til Pauling: Kvantekemiens Barndom Hvad der i dag betegnes kvantekemi, har sin oprindelse i perioden før kvantemekanikken blev skabt i årene 1925-1926. Niels Bohr og andre anvendte den tidligere kvanteteori på en række kemiske områder, men med begrænset held. Især vakte molekylerne problemer, idet selv det simple H_2 molekyle ikke kunne forklares. Det skete først i 1927, da Walther Heitler og Fritz London analyserede molekylet ud fra den nye Schrödinger-ligning. I årene derefter udviklede fysikere (snarere end kemikere) kvantekemien i forskellige versioner, der omkring 1932 også blev taget op af et stigende antal forskere med kemisk baggrund og den nødvendige matematiske kompetance. Af særlig betydning var Linus Paulings mange bidrag, der senere blev belønnet med en nobelpris. Udover at skitsere den videnskabelige udvikling ca. 1912-1932 vil foredraget også komme ind på kvantekemiens institutionalisering, dens forhold til disciplinerne Fysisk Kemi og Kemisk Fysik, og mere generelt det historiske forhold mellem kemi og kvantefysik.
