Ivor Robinson contributed extensively to modern developments in the theory of relativity. He is known for his pioneering work on null electromagnetic fields ("Robinson's theorem"), for his collaboration with Andrzej Trautman on models for spherical gravitational waves, and for the Bel–Robinson tensor.
[5] [4] Robinson's work was featured in the Cornell Chronicle, [6] [7] Physics Today, [8] [9] and R&D. [10] In addition, Robinson has received many awards and distinctions for his research, such as the National Science Foundation Early Career Development Award, Fulbright Scholar, and the R&D 100 Award for his work on nanocrystal solar cells.

In 1973, with Arthur B. Robinson and another colleague, Pauling founded the Institute of Orthomolecular Medicine in Menlo Park, California, which was soon renamed the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine. Pauling directed research on vitamin C, but also continued his theoretical work in chemistry and physics until his death.
