Langmuir in a sentence

Langmuir and Lewis had a long rivalry, dating back to Langmuir's extensions of Lewis's theory of the chemical bond.

When this problem was corrected, details that had previously eluded him were revealed, and his interest in the complications of nature was heightened. citation During his childhood, Langmuir was influenced by his older brother, Arthur Langmuir.

In March, Molly Langmuir wrote a profile for of the women behind Unicorn Moms, a community of mothers who are attempting to resist judgment in a way that nonetheless seems to be extremely judgment-conscious.

After World War II, the Langmuir Research Labs of General Electric developed as a major employer; the defense industry continued to expand.

During his childhood, Langmuir's parents encouraged him to carefully observe nature and to keep a detailed record of his various observations.

Education Langmuir attended his early education at various schools and institutes in America and Paris (1892–1895).

He introduced the concept of electron temperature and in 1924 invented the diagnostic method for measuring both temperature and density with an electrostatic probe, now called a Langmuir probe and commonly used in plasma physics.

He was the third of the four children of Charles Langmuir and Sadie, née Comings.

In 1913, Irving Langmuir found that filling a lamp with inert gas instead of a vacuum resulted in twice the luminous efficacy and reduction of bulb blackening.

Irving Langmuir found that an inert gas, instead of vacuum, would retard evaporation.

Langmuir estimated the fly's true speed at 25 miles per hour.

Langmuir graduated high school from Chestnut Hill Academy (1898), an elite private school located in the affluent Chestnut Hill area in Philadelphia.

Langmuir said a pathological science is an area of research that simply will not "go away"—long after it was given up on as "false" by the majority of scientists in the field.

Langmuir's papers at the Library of Congress confirm that he had been on the Berkeley campus that day to receive an honorary degree.

Langmuir stated that Rhine did not report scores of subjects that he suspected were intentionally guessing wrong, and that this, he felt, biased the statistical results higher than they should have been.

Langmuir was one of the first scientists to realize that a harder vacuum would improve the amplifying behaviour of the triode, having improved Gaede's diffusion vacuum pump.

Langmuir writes that surface tension in the water droplets provides a slightly higher pressure on the droplet, raising the vapor pressure by a small amount.

N-rays main Langmuir discussed the issue of N-rays as an example of pathological science.

On the day of Lewis's death, Langmuir and Lewis had met for lunch at Berkeley, a meeting that Michael Kasha recalled only years later.

The development of the diffusion pump in 1915 and improvement by Irving Langmuir led to the development of high-vacuum tubes.
