Gerhard Ertl

Hi again readers!

In this time I`m working in winners of  Nobel Prizes for 2002 to 2015.

In this article I´m going to speak about Gerhard Ertl,because he is the person I have chosen. I choose him due to the fact that I like chemistry and also because he won the prize alone, and no like in the others half and half, this person worked alone and I think that he have more merit. 2007 also was the year that I liked so much, it was my favorite year in my childhood.

Because all of the reasons, I´m going to talk about his biography, his personal life and some interesting things.

Gerhard Ertl was born in 10th October of 1936 in Germany. He is 79 years old and at his age he is still working in surface chemistry. He also is a German physicist and a Professor emeritus at the Department of Physical Chemistry. Ertl’s researched laid the foundation of modern surface chemistry, which has helped to explain how fuel cells produce energy without pollution, how catalytic converters clean up car exhausts and even why iron rusts.

Like I mention before, Ertl was born in Stuttgart, Germany. He studied physics from 1955 to 1957 at the Technical University of Stuttgart and then, at the University of Paris(1957–1958) and Ludwig Maximilian University in Munich (1958–1959).

After completing his Ph.D, he became a assistant and lecturer at Technical University of Munich (1965–1968). From 1968 to 1973, he was Professor and Director at Technical University of Hannover. Then, he became a Professor at Institute for Physical Chemistry, Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (1973–1986). During the 1970 and 1980, he was also a Visiting Professor at the California Institute of Technology, the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee and the University of California, Berkeley. In 1986 he became professor at the Free University of Berlin and at the Technical University of Berlin. He was director at the Fritz Haber Institute of the MPG from 1986 until his retirement in 2004. He became professor at the Humboldt University of Berlin in 1996. Ertl now serves in his second term as a member of the university council of Technische Universität Darmstadt. Wikipedia

Gerhard Ertl won the Nobel Prize in chemistry on 2007 because of his studies of chemical processes on solid surfaces. Ertl and his wife Barbara have two children and several grandchildren. His hobbies include playing the piano and also playing with his cats when he is not doing experiments. He is a Christian.

Here you have an interesting video about Gerhard Ertl and the Nobel Prize.

Social Websites

Hi reader!

In this second article I'm going to talk about the social websites (Instagram, Twitter, Facebook...).

I'm going to write about the good and the bad consequences of using these social websites, the different meaning of "a friend"  and how to guarantee the security of your account.

Firstly, if you use properly and thinking what are you doing, there are much advantages with the websites. You can met any people from all over the world and chat with him or her, or communicate with your family and friends. also you can take information of what is happening in the world at the moment. If you are bored, you can play games online with your friends, or see the photos of them and upload and share thous things. You can enjoy of all of this using properly the webs.

However, there are also disadvantages. The most dangerous is that your password can be stolen and they can do anything with your social website. But apart of this, It's not very good to stay all the time into this webs, because, yes okay, you are always doing something with any people and it can be very funny, but you should have a social life also, doing things like go to see a film or run or whatever you want with your real friends or family.

The friends of the real live (traditional friends) and a friend that is of Instagram, Twitter or Facebook are very different. With a traditional friend, you can have a good confidence and you can trust in he or she. Whereas, with the social websites friends,  It's very dangerous to have a confidence because the relationship can be very false. Also It's very dangerous to accept people that you don't know them, because there are much threats cases, with your own photos or videos. So, be careful with these people.


The security of social webs are not bad. The people that want to speak with you or see your photos and you don't know who they are, can't speak to you or see your photos if you don't give permission to them. You should make your account private. If you want to speak with a friend privately you can send him a private message. Also it is good to put a difficult password with letters and numbers, and to be possible with more than 8 characters, to be safely for stolen of the accounts. Apart of this, we accept in many times unknown person, and my personal opinion is to no accept unknown persons. To finish with, you can block people that you want no to be followed.

A suggestion that I make to the site owners is that should help more to the people that have problems with the websites.

But in general I´m very happy with the social websites, if they are used properly.
