Once he was able to research independently, Gilman was determined to explore the chemistry of these organometallic reagents.

His involvement led him to explore the chemistry and mechanics of the offset process in detail, and he experimented at length by doing such things as changing the patterns of the printing dots and overprinting images with multiple colors to achieve extraordinary saturation.

At Owens College he had met Charles Frederick Cross [q.v.]and the two chemists joined forces at the Jodrell laboratory, Kew Gardens, with the aim of exploring the chemistry of cellulose, the major constituent of wood, cotton, flax, and paper.

The most dramatic experiment shown here is part of an effort to explore the chemistry of a craving for drugs.

His non-fiction book 'The Eye: A Natural History' delved into the science of vision exploring the chemistry, physics and biology of the eye.

Returning to group compositions, he created La Part des anges (1996), the epitome of interiority, a quartet exploring the chemistry that connects and disconnects feelings between people; and Jeux de Fous (1998),) a piece for three young graduates of the Université du Québec à Montréal dance department.

His work involved exploring the chemistry of tungsten phosphine derivatives.

For 42 years, Dr. Miller has explored the chemistry of life's origins, sometimes with dramatic results.
