Fritz Haber, a German chemist, developed the Haber-Bosch process that enabled mass fertilizer production, feeding half the world's population and earning him the Nobel Prize, yet he also pioneered chemical warfare by creating chlorine gas for the German army during World War I, which killed thousands of soldiers, demonstrating how scientific genius can be applied for both humanitarian and destructive purposes.

The Man Who Fed Billions But Killed Millions - Fritz Haber's Dark LegacyAdded:
Did you know the same man who saved billions from starvation also created the gas that killed millions? Fritz Haber was a German chemist who figured out how to pull nitrogen from the air and turn it into fertilizer. His invention feeds half the world's population today. But when World War I broke out, Haber used that same brilliant mind for something darker. He developed chlorine gas for the German army. The first attack killed 5,000 soldiers in minutes. Haber won the Nobel Prize for feeding humanity. He also became the father of chemical warfare.
One brain, two legacies.
