Flickerful,
Yes, all of the above, although Bradbury and Assimov are not purely science-fiction writers. Assimov has written a fair amount of scientific nonfiction in addition to his novels.
While in medical school and during his year of internship, Michael Crichton was quite the prolific writer, writing under the names of John Lange and Jeffrey Hudson, among others. I can't believe the number of quite excellent books he wrote during his years in medical school and his year as an intern. During that time or shortly after, he wrote two medical nonfiction books, as well. I believe "Andromeda Strain" (1971) was Crichton's first fiction work under his own name.
As a humorous aside, back in 1967 Crichton, using his own name, wrote a nonfiction article in a national magazine. Three months later, a letter to the magazine's editor appeared, praising the article to the high heavens, signed by "Jeffrey Hudson."
