Hershey and Chase observed that DNA is the identity of the hereditary material in phage T2. Hershey and Chase used radioactive labels to mark the protein of the bacteriaphage in one experiment and the DNA in another.

According to my bio book, I think it's Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase, in the HERSHEY-CHASE experiment.
they concluded that the genetic material of the bacteriophage was DNA, not protein
They tore of the surface of the surfaces of the bacteria with the help of a blender.

Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase conducted the famous Hershey-Chase experiment in 1952, which confirmed that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material in bacteriophages. They used radioactive labeling to trace the genetic material within the bacteriophages, providing evidence for the role of DNA in heredity.
It is not Hershey and Chase !! It is Oswald Avery that conducted these experiments!
The genetic mateial is made of DNA and not of proteins

The Hershey-Chase experiment was a scientific study conducted in 1952 by Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase. They used bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, to demonstrate that DNA, not protein, is the genetic material that carries hereditary information. The key finding of the experiment was that when the bacteriophages infected bacteria, only the DNA of the virus was injected into the bacterial cell, not the protein coat. This provided strong evidence that DNA is the molecule responsible for transmitting genetic information.
