HOME SITE HELP ABOUT SEARCH ... EDUCATIONAL Irving Langmuir was born in Brooklyn, New York, on January 31, 1881, as the third of four sons of Charles Langmuir and Sadie, Comings. His early education was obtained in various schools and institutes in the USA, and in Paris (1892-1895). He graduated as a metallurgical engineer from the School of Mines at Columbia University in 1903. Postgraduate work in Physical Chemistry under Nernst Returning to America, Dr. Langmuir became Instructor in Chemistry at Stevens Institute of Technology, Hoboken, New Jersey, where he taught until July 1909. He then entered the Research Laboratory of the General Electric Company at Schenectady where he eventually became Associate Director. Langmuir's studies embraced chemistry, physics, and engineering and were largely the outgrowth of studies of vacuum phenomena. In seeking the atomic and molecular mechanisms of these he investigated the properties of adsorbed films and the nature of electric discharges in high vacuum and in certain gases at low pressures. His work on filaments in gases led directly to the invention of the gasfilled incandescent lamp and to the discovery of atomic hydrogen. He later used the latter in the development of the atomic hydrogen welding process.

He was the third child (out of four) of Charles Langmuir and Sadie, n©e Comings. During his childhood, Langmuir's parents actively encouraged him to carefully observe nature and to keep a detailed record of his various observations. When Irving was eleven, it was discovered that he had rather poor eyesight. When this problem was corrected, details and observations that had previously eluded him were revealed. Because of this, his interest in nature and the various complications of nature was heightened. During his childhood, Langmuir was greatly influenced by his older brother Arthur Langmuir. Arthur was a research chemist who also encouraged Irving to be curious about nature and how things work. Arthur helped Irving set up his first chemistry lab in the corner of his bedroom and he was always there to answer the myriad of questions that Irving would pose to him (which most of the time were on rather trivial matters).

IRVING LANGMUIR Irving Langmuir would never have thought to ask the question "when will I ever use this ?". His scientific inquiries sprang from a curiosity that saw a purpose in everything. That practical applications flowed from his theoretical wanderings was to him the "icing on the cake". This future Nobel prize winner was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1881. From an early age his parents encouraged him to be a careful observer of nature and to keep detailed records of those observations. At age eleven, when his poor eyesight was detected, details that were previously hidden to him were revealed and he was from then on intrigued by the intricate nature of the world now open to his observation. Langmuir was greatly influenced by his brother, Arthur, a research chemist who encouraged Irving's curious nature. He helped him set up his first lab in a corner of his bedroom; he patiently answered the young boy's questions about simple matters - why does water boil ? why does rain fall ? In 1892, the family moved to Paris. Irving's intellectual curiosity was stifled by the traditional, rigid schooling he encountered there. He was happy to return to Philadelphia and the Chestnut Hill Academy where a special teacher was able to rekindle his former fervor. He then attended and graduated from the Pratt Institute's Manual Training High School in Brooklyn, and went on to receive a B.S. in metallurgical engineering from Columbia School of Mines in 1903.

Irving Langmuir The American chemist Irving Langmuir, b. Jan. 31, 1881, d. Aug. 16, 1957, excelled in both theoretical contributions and their practical applications in many fields of science. He conducted his monumental research (1909-50) at the General Electric Company in Schenectady, N.Y. Langmuir's studies of chemical reactions at high temperature and low pressure led to the gas-filled tungsten lamp, which prolongs the life of the filament. His research dealing with the thermal effect on gases shed light on the properties of atomic hydrogen and resulted in the manufacture of the atomic hydrogen torch used for welding. In atomic structure he contributed to the modern theory of electronic bonding. His work on thermionic emission resulted in the construction of many electron tubes. For his pioneer work in the fields of catalysis and adsorption Langmuir was awarded the 1932 Nobel Prize for chemistry. Volver a la página de cabecera. [W. Heisemberg] [W. Pauli] [E. Schrödinger] ...
