Anchored by Air Force master Eigen Wang, the Americans finished a very credible third behind Greece and Poland, ahead of such traditional powerhouses as Germany and Denmark.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall, he had his first solo show at Eigen + Art, in 1993.

At a time when most institutes and departments were split along disciplinary lines, Eigen argued that understanding organisms at the level of their chemical interactions demanded an interdisciplinary approach.

Manfred Eigen, who shared the 1967 Nobel Prize in chemistry for showing how to measure the speeds of reactions that had seemed impossibly fast, died Feb. 6.

Herbert Jaeckle, an emeritus director at the institute, said Thursday that “perhaps more than anybody else, Manfred Eigen understood how to think out of the box and successfully pursue new scientific directions.”
