Willard Frank Libby (December 17, 1908 – September 8, 1980) was an American physical chemist noted for his role in the 1949 development of radiocarbon dating, a process which revolutionized archaeology and palaeontology.
Willard Frank Libby was a Nobel Prize-winning chemist who developed the radiocarbon dating technique. He was born in 1908 in Colorado, USA, and received his Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1933. He worked at various institutions, including the Manhattan District Project, the University of Chicago, and the University of California at Los Angeles, before becoming a professor and director of research. He died in 1980.
21. März 2024 · Willard Frank Libby was an American chemist whose technique of carbon-14 (or radiocarbon) dating provided an extremely valuable tool for archaeologists, anthropologists, and earth scientists.

10. Okt. 2016 · Learn how Willard Libby, a professor of chemistry at the University of Chicago, conceived and developed the radiocarbon dating method in 1946. This method provides objective age estimates for organic materials by measuring their content of carbon-14, a radioactive isotope of carbon. The "radiocarbon revolution" benefited archaeology and geology by allowing practitioners to develop more precise historical chronologies across geography and cultures.
