  1. Harold Clayton Urey (April 29, 1893 – January 5, 1981) was an American physical chemist whose pioneering work on isotopes earned him the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1934 and later led him to theories of planetary evolution.

    Urey isolated deuterium by repeatedly distilling a sample of liquid hydrogen. In 1931, he and his associates went on to demonstrate the existence of heavy water. Urey was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1934 for this work.

    During World War II, his team at Columbia worked on a number of research programs that contributed towards the Manhattan Project to develop an atomic bomb for the United States

    At the University of Chicago, where he received his Ph.D. in chemistry in 1954, Stanley Miller was a student of Harold Urey.

    I don't think that they were biochemists, but their work did contribute to the creation of atomic bombs.
