Hoard was a member of the National Academy of Sciences, a recipient of the award for Distinguished Service in the Advancement of Inorganic Chemistry from the American Chemical Society, a Guggenheim fellow.
The New York Times called him" an expert in crystallography whose work helped to explain crystalline and molecular structures".
Marshall Brickman
Marshall Brickman (born August 25, 1939) is an American screenwriter and director, best known for his collaborations with Woody Allen.
He is the co-recipient of the 1977 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for "Annie Hall".

Ed Westcott
James Edward Westcott( January 20, 1922 – March 29, 2019) was an American photographer who was noted for his work with the United States government in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, during the Manhattan Project and the Cold War.
As one of the few people permitted to have a camera in the Oak Ridge area during the Manhattan Project, he created the main visual record of the construction and operation of the Oak Ridge production facilities and of civilian life in the enclosed community of Oak Ridge.
Ruth Kerr Jakoby
Ruth Kerr Jakoby( born September 2, 1929) is a US neurosurgeon, member of the Manhattan Project.
The Manhattan Project (film)
The Manhattan Project is a 1986 American science fiction thriller film.
Named after the World War II-era program that constructed the first atomic bombs, the plot revolves around a gifted high school student who decides to construct an atomic bomb for a national science fair.
It was directed by Marshall Brickman, based upon his screenplay co-written with Thomas Baum, and starred Christopher Collet, John Lithgow, John Mahoney, Jill Eikenberry and Cynthia Nixon.
This was the first production from the short-lived Gladden Entertainment.
The film's director and screenplay co-writer Marshall Brickman had established his career as a co-writer on several Woody Allen films.
"
The Manhattan Project" was his third film as director, following the comedies "Simon" (1980) and "Lovesick" (1983).
George W. Watt
Dr. George W. Watt( January 8, 1911 – March 29, 1980) was an American chemist who participated in the Manhattan Project.
Wallace L. Minto
Wallace L. Minto( August 6, 1921, in Jersey City, New Jersey, United States – September 3, 1983) had a passion for science at a very young age.
For instance, at age 13, he and his father, Wallace Milton Minto, stock piled more than 50 tons of uranium rich ore in Sparta, NJ.
He was also the first to split the uranium atom while still a teenager.
This nearly created an atomic explosion in his family home.
At age 16, Wallace synthesized radium and invented what is now known as" Scotchlite".
He had a copyright on his own periodic chart which renamed all the elements.
When only 16, he was a student at Columbia College and was later instrumental in convincing Albert Einstein to write a letter to President Franklin D. Roosevelt( dated August 2, 1939) stressing the need for the United States to expand its experimentation with Atomic Energy, leading to the Manhattan Project.
Consequently, Minto sold his uranium rich ore to the U.S. Government for use in the Manhattan Project.
On June 26, 1944, Minto was enlisted by Dr. Andrew H. Dowdy, director of the Manhattan Department of the University of Rochester, to take charge of the Special Problems Division of the Manhattan Project.
Minto reported directly to General Leslie Groves and reportedly threw Groves out of his lab for tampering with his beakers.
Another significant accomplishment by Minto was a non-polluting, organic Rankine Cycle Engine.
The engine was licensed to Nissan Motor Company in 1972.
Minto also discovered the method by which fish communicate which is referenced in the July 1965 issue of" Popular Mechanics".
Hydronics, a low form of radiation, was also discovered by Minto.
Furthermore, he invented the Jemeter, an electronic refractometer, utilized to distinguish gem stones.
Finally, Minto invented the Minto Wheel, as a gift to the Third World countries.
Its purpose was to replace the mundane task of oxen and mules walking around in circles in order to grind corn or wheat and for the operation of a low technology irrigation system.
Wallace Minto died on September 3, 1983, of myelofibrosis after a long battle.
His disease was a direct result of his work on the Manhattan Project.
Philip Morrison
Philip Morrison (November 7, 1915 – April 22, 2005) was a professor of physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
He is known for his work on the Manhattan Project during World War II, and for his later work in quantum physics, nuclear physics and high energy astrophysics.
A graduate of Carnegie Tech
, Morrison became interested in physics, which he studied at the University of California, Berkeley, under the supervision of J. Robert Oppenheimer.
He also joined the Communist Party.
During World War II he joined the Manhattan Project's Metallurgical Laboratory at the University of Chicago, where he worked with Eugene Wigner on the design of nuclear reactors.
In 1944 he moved to the Manhattan Project's Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico, where he worked with George Kistiakowsky on the development of explosive lenses required to detonate the implosion-type nuclear weapon.
Morrison transported the core of the Trinity test device to the test site in the back seat of a Dodge sedan.
As leader of Project Alberta's pit crew he helped load the atomic bombs on board the aircraft that participated in the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
After the war ended, he traveled to Hiroshima as part of the Manhattan Project's mission to assess the damage.
After the war he became a champion of nuclear nonproliferation.
He wrote for the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, and helped found the Federation of American Scientists and the Institute for Defense and Disarmament Studies.
He was one of the few ex-communists to remain employed and academically active throughout the 1950s, but his research turned away from nuclear physics towards astrophysics.
He published papers on cosmic rays, and a 1958 paper of his is considered to mark the birth of gamma ray astronomy.
He was also known for writing popular science books and articles, and appearing in television programs.
