When it became clear to Wilkins and the supervisors of Watson and Crick that Franklin was going to the new job, and that Linus Pauling was working on the structure of DNA, they were willing to share Franklin's data with Watson and Crick, in the hope that they could find a good model of DNA before Pauling was able.

Identification of the correct base-pairing rules ( A-T, G-C ) was achieved by Watson " playing " with cardboard cut-out models of the nucleotide bases, much in the manner that Linus Pauling had discovered the protein alpha helix a few years earlier.

Linus Benedict Torvalds (; born December 28, 1969 ) is a Finnish American software engineer and hacker, who was the principal force behind the development of the Linux kernel.

Torvalds was named after Linus Pauling, the Nobel Prize-winning American chemist, although in the book Rebel Code: Linux and the Open Source Revolution, Torvalds is quoted as saying, " I think I was named equally for Linus the Peanuts cartoon character ", noting that this makes him half " Nobel-prize-winning chemist " and half " blanket-carrying cartoon character ".

Linus Torvalds, the original creator of Linux ( a popular operating system kernel ), was once pecked by a Little Penguin while on holiday in Australia.

Another important step was the development of quantum mechanics into quantum chemistry from the 1930s, where Linus Pauling was one of the leading names.

The Liber Pontificalis also presents a list that makes Linus the second in the line of bishops of Rome, after Peter ; but at the same time it states that Peter ordained two bishops, Linus and Cletus, for the priestly service of the community, devoting himself instead to prayer and preaching, and that it was to Clement that he entrusted the Church as a whole, appointing him as his successor.

This figure includes 17 alumni, 14 non-alumni professors, and 4 professors who are also alumni ( Carl D. Anderson, Linus Pauling, William A. Fowler, and Edward B. Lewis ).

The books that were influential in the early development of computational quantum chemistry include Linus Pauling and E. Bright Wilson's 1935 Introduction to Quantum Mechanics – with Applications to Chemistry, Eyring, Walter and Kimball's 1944 Quantum Chemistry, Heitler's 1945 Elementary Wave Mechanics – with Applications to Quantum Chemistry, and later Coulson's 1952 textbook Valence, each of which served as primary references for chemists in the decades to follow.

Linus Torvalds on the other hand said in a 2007 mailing list post that as a matter of policy, the development team preferred more incremental changes.

Raymond also coined an aphorism he dubbed " Linus ' Law ", inspired by Linus Torvalds: " Given enough eyeballs, all bugs are shallow ", that first appeared in The Cathedral and the Bazaar.

First proposed by Linus Pauling in 1932 as a development of valence bond theory, it has been shown to correlate with a number of other chemical properties.

The most commonly used method of calculation is that originally proposed by Linus Pauling.

Scientists who have opposed nuclear weapons include Linus Pauling and Eugene Rabinowitch.

The two most prominent people attached to the movement, Richard Stallman and Linus Torvalds, may be seen as representatives of the value based versus apolitical philosophies, as well as the Gnu versus Linux coding styles.
