The year 1953 in science and technology included many events, some of which are listed here.
1 Biochemistry
- Stanley L. Miller published (May 15 in Science) results from the " Miller-Urey experiment". These results surprised many chemists by showing that organic molecules present in living organisms can form easily from simple chemicals. Download the article.

2 Chemistry
- PariserRudolph Pariser (born December 8, 1923) is a physical chemist and polymer chemist. He was born in Harbin, China, but became a naturalized citizen of the United States of America in 1944. He received the Bachelor of Science degree from the University of Ca - PopleSir John Anthony Pople ( October 31, 1925 March 15, 2004) was a theoretical chemist. Born in England, he attended Bristol Grammar School, where an IT room and a scholarship are named after him. He moved to the United States of America in the early 1960s, - ParrRobert Ghormley Parr (born September 22, 1921) is a theoretical chemist. He received his A. degree magna cum laude from Brown University in 1942 and his Ph. in physical chemistry from the University of Minnesota in 1947. He joined the faculty at Minnesota computational quantum chemistryQuantum chemistry is the application of quantum mechanics to problems in chemistry. The description of the electronic behavior of atoms and molecules as pertains to their reactivity is an application of quantum chemistry. Since quantum-mechanical studies theory for approximating molecular orbitalIn quantum chemistry, molecular orbitals are the statistical states electrons can have within molecules. Molecular orbitals are formed by the combination of atomic orbitals. It's next to impossible to find out what the orbitals of a molecule are directly.s. (R. Pariser and R.G. Parr, J. Chem. Phys. 21, 466, 767) (J.A. Pople, Trans. Faraday Soc. 49, 1375)
