National Medal of Science for Physical Science

Raymond Davis, Jr.

(For creating the first experiment to measure solar neutrino flux, continuing research on tracking the time dependence of the solar neutrino flux, and creating the new field of neutrino astronomy.)
National Medal of Science for Engineering

Andreas Acrivos

(For his pioneering research in fluid mechanics, leadership in the fluid mechanics and chemical engineering communities, editorial initiative with the Physics of Fluids, and mentoring several generations of engineering scientists.)
National Medal of Science for Biological Sciences

Francisco J. Ayala

(For his theoretical and experimental discoveries on the origin of species, genetic diversity, and population dynamics that led to a new understanding of biological evolution, and his distinguished contributions to education, the promotion of public understanding of science, and the philosophy and ethics of the scientific enterprise.)
National Medal of Science for Biological Sciences

Mario Capecchi

(For his groundbreaking research which has revolutionized biomedical research and provided a powerful tool for understanding disease mechanisms and gene functions.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science

Marvin L. Cohen

(For his creation and application of a quantum theory for explaining and predicting properties of real materials, which formed the basis for semiconductor physics and nanoscience.)
National Medal of Science for Chemistry

Ernest R. Davidson

(For his innovative leadership and numerous conceptual and algorithmic developments that led to the field of computational quantum chemistry and made possible the accurate modeling of chemical rections and the response of molecules to radiation.)
National Medal of Science for Biological Sciences

Ann Graybiel

(For her pioneering contributions to the understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the brain, including the structure, chemistry, and function of the pathways subserving thought and movement.)
National Medal of Science for Physical Science

Charles David Keeling

(For his pioneering and fundamental research on atmospheric and oceanic carbon dioxide, the basis for understanding global carbon cycle and global warming.)
National Medal of Science for Biological Sciences

Gene Likens

(For his discovery of acid rain in North America and his sustained leadership in developing the fields of ecology and ecosystem science.)
National Medal of Science for Biological Sciences

Victor A. McKusick

(For basic and applied contributions to the founding of medical genetics and the human genome project.)
National Medal of Science for Mathematics and Computer Science

C. R. Rao

(For his pioneering contributions to the foundations of statistical theory and multivariate statistical methodology, and their applications, enriching the physical, biological, mathematical, economic and engineering sciences.)
National Medal of Science for Chemistry

Gabor A. Somorjai

(For molecular studies of surfaces through the use of single crystals and the development of new techniques that served as foundations of new surface technologies including heterogeneous catalysis.)
National Medal of Science for Mathematics and Computer Science

Elias M. Stein

(For his contributions to mathematical analysis, especially harmonic analysis, partial differential equations, several complex variables, and representation theory.)
National Medal of Science for Biological Sciences

Harold E. Varmus

(For his co-discovery of the cellular origins of retroviral oncogenes, which heralded a new era in the control of human cancer and for reinvigorating the nation's medical research enterprise.)
