    Of the four people who have won two Nobel Prizes, three of them won both in their main field of expertise. Only one person has won a Nobel Prize in two unrelated areas. Who is that person and what categories were the prizes from?

    Hint: This is also the only person to have earned two unshared Nobel prizes.

    muller? the guy who discovered DDT for peace and chemistry?

    edit, DDT for peace because it was developed in WW2. Before DDT, mosquitoes disease killed more than bullets on battlefield.

    I've never seen the term 'DDT for peace' before. :)

    You have the right prizes, just the wrong guy.

    I'm guessing here at first I would have said Andrei Sakharov, but he was a physicist not a chemist, so I'm going for Linus Pauling?

    It is indeed Linus Pauling. His prize in chemistry was for orbital theory. His prize for peace (which he was most proud of) was for his efforts to bring about a nuclear test ban treaty.

    I knew orbital theory did that for my chemistry degree, and knew he did a lot of work trying to ban nulear testing with the UN, wasn't sure if he got the prize though.
