National Medal of Science for Mathematics and Computer Science Shiing-Shen Chern (For developing and extending techniques that led to profound discoveries in geometry and topology.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science Chien-Shiung Wu (For her ingenious experiments that led to new and surprising understanding of the decay of the radioactive nucleus.)
National Medal of Science for Mathematics and Computer Science John Backus (For his pioneering contributions to computer programming languages, especially development of the FORTRAN language which made the modern digital computer directly available to countless scientists and engineers.)
National Medal of Science for Engineering Manson Benedict (For inspired and ingenious leadership in the development of gaseous diffision plants for uranium isotope separation, and for his role in creating the discipline of nuclear engineering.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science Hans Bethe (For his explanation of the origin of the sun's heat, his many contributions to our understanding of the atomic nucleus and his counsel in matters involving atomic energy.)
National Medal of Science for Mathematics and Computer Science George Dantzig (For inventing linear programming and discovering methods that led to wide-scale scientific and technical applications to important problems in logistics, scheduling, and network optimization, and to the use of computers in making efficient use of the mathematical theory.)
National Medal of Science for Biological Sciences Hallowell Davis (For fundamental research on nerve potentials, electroencephalography, and mechanisms of hearing that have formed the basis for advances in neurophysiology, neurology, otolaryngology, audiology, acoustics, occupational health safety, and pediatrics.)
National Medal of Science for Biological Sciences Paul György (For his discovery of three vitamins and related research that have greatly improved human nutrition.)
National Medal of Science for Biological Sciences Sterling B. Hendricks (For the initiation of basic research in the physical and chemical properties of soils and proteins that have profoundly influenced agricultural practices and the production of food plants.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science Joseph O. Hirschfelder (For his fundamental contribution to atomic and molecular quantum mechanics, the theory of the rates of chemical reactions, and the structure and properties of gases and liquids.)
National Medal of Science for Engineering William Henry Pickering (For his leadership of the exploration of the planets of the solar system and his personal contributions to the theory and practice of soft planetary landings and collection of data from deep space.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science Lewis Hastings Sarett (For his pioneering contributions to the chemical synthesis of cortisone, steriodal hormones, and other chemotherapeutic agents which have contributed to the benefit of mankind.)
National Medal of Science for Engineering Frederick Terman (For his principal role in creating modern electronics and his ability to document his knowledge so that it could be effectively communicated to his many students who now populate the worlds of industry, academia, and public service.)
National Medal of Science for Biological Sciences Orville Vogel (For outstanding contributions to agronomic research including the development of radically new and improved semidwarf varieties of wheat that now grow on five continents and have made the green revolution a reality.)
National Medal of Science for Engineering Wernher von Braun (For his work in making the liquid-fuel rocket a practical launch vehicle and for individual contributions to a series of advanced space vehicles, culminating in the Saturn series that made the Apollo program possible.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science Edgar Bright Wilson (In recognition of his fundamental theoretical and experimental contribution to our understanding of the structure of molecules.)
