Charles DuBois Coryell (February 21, 1912 – January 7, 1971)[1] was an American chemist who was one of the discoverers of the element promethium.
Coryell earned a Ph.D. at
In 1945 he was a member of the Clinton Laboratories team, with
Coryell was among the Manhattan Project scientists who in 1945 signed the
With Dr. Nathan Sugarman, Coryell was co-editor of Radiochemical Studies: The Fission Projects, a volume of 336 research papers from the Manhattan Project.[6]
After World War II he joined the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1945 as a faculty member in inorganic and radiochemistry.[14] At MIT he conducted research in fission fine-structure and beta decay theory until his death in 1971.[6]
In 1954 he received the Louis Lipsky Fellowship at the
