Extractions: Von frühester Kindheit an versuchten seine Eltern mit Erfolg, sein Interesse an der Naturwissenschaft zu wecken. Einen großen Einfluß auf den jungen Irving Langmuir hatte auch sein älterer Bruder Artur. Artur Langmuir war Chemiker und beantwortete mit Geduld alle Fragen des jüngeren Bruders zu einfachen naturwissenschaftlichen Problemen. Artur war es auch, der Irving dabei half, sein erstes Labor in einer Ecke seines Kinderzimmers aufzubauen. Im Jahre 1892 zog Familie Langmuir nach Paris. Das dortige Schulsystem war so traditionell und rigide, daß Irving bald die Freude an der Naturwissenschaft verlor. Nach der Rückkehr in die Vereinigten Staaten konnte allerdings ein Privatlehrer Langmuirs Begeisterung wieder wecken. Nach Beendigung der Schulzeit begann Langmuir ein Studium der Metallurgie, welches er mit Abschlüssen an der Pratt Institute's Manual Training High School in Brooklyn und der Columbia University erfolgreich beendete. Im Jahre 1903 ging Langmuir nach Deutschland, wo er in Göttingen unter Walter Nernst arbeitete. Dort schrieb er 1906 seine Doktorarbeit zum Verhalten von Gasen in der Nähe eines heißen Platindrahtes. Nach seiner Rückkehr nach Amerika arbeitete er zunächst als Chemielehrer in Hoboken, New Jersey, ging aber bald zu General Electric Co.. Die Freiheit in der Forschung, die ihm dort gewährt wurde, ermöglichte ihm zahlreiche Erfindungen, wie die Kondensations-Quecksilbervakuumpumpe, die

Extractions: Nobel Laureate: 1932 In 1909, he was invited to join the new research laboratory of the General Electric Company where he worked as a research scientist, as associate director, and as a consultant until his death in 1957. In his research there he made significant contributions to many fields: low pressure phenomena, heat transfer, incandescent lamps, thermionic phenomena, electrical discharges, plasmas and their oscillations, the atomic and molecular structure of matter, proteins, surface phenomena, filtration, aviation, atmospheric phenomena, the botfly, nucleation of ice in clouds, and rain formation. For these contributions, he received the Nichols and Gibbs Medals of the American Chemical Society, the Hughes Medal of the Royal Society of London, the Rumford Medal, the Faraday Medal, the Nobel Prize, and many other awards. In 1975, Kenneth Langmuir, son of Irving and Marian Langmuir, generously bequeathed the residue of his estate to the Irving Langmuir Laboratory for Atmospheric Research. The bequest is used for the support of the Laboratory, for Langmuir Fellowships at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, and for an annual research award. To encourage emulations of Dr. Langmuir's vigorous approach to research at an Institute where the fields of study span many of his own, the Langmuir Award for Excellence in Research has been established as an annual event by the Institute committee operating Langmuir Laboratory. It is awarded for an outstanding scientific research paper that has been submitted to or published by a recognized journal during the preceding year by any student or graduate of New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology.

Extractions: Once physicists studying the structure of the atom began to realize that the electrons surrounding the nucleus had a special arrangement, chemists began to investigate how these theories corresponded to the known chemistry of the elements and their bonding abilities. Two Americans who were instrumental in developing a bonding theory based on the number of electrons in the outermost "valence" shell of the atom were Gilbert Newton Lewis (18751946) and Irving Langmuir (18811957). G. N. Lewis at his Desk. In 1902, while Lewis was trying to explain valence to his students, he depicted atoms as constructed of a concentric series of cubes with electrons at each corner. This "cubic atom" explained the eight groups in the periodic table and represented his theory that chemical bonds are formed by electron transference to give each atom a complete set of eight. In 1923 he redefined acids as any atom or molecule with an incomplete "octet" that were thus capable of accepting electrons from another atom; bases were, of course, electron donors. Lewis was also important in developing the field of thermodynamics and applying its laws to real chemical systems. At the end of the nineteenth century when he started working, the law of conservation of energy and other thermodynamic relations were known only as isolated equations. Lewis built on the work of another American pioneer in thermodynamics, Josiah Willard Gibbs (18391903) of Yale University, whose contributions were only slowly recognized. Their work was of immense value in predicting whether reactions will go almost to completion, reach an equilibrium, or proceed almost not at all, and whether a mixture of chemicals can be separated by distillation.

Extractions: Background A recent book, Voodoo Science by Robert Parks (Oxford, 2000) led us to the realization that the most seminal exposition on the topic, a talk on Pathological Science by Irving Langmuir is not available on the web and we set out to rectify this omission. Irving Langmuir (1881-1957) was born in Brooklyn, NY. After studies in Physical Chemistry he spent most of his career in the research laboratories of General Electric. He won the Nobel prize for Chemistry in 1932. He gave his famous talk at the GE research labs four years before his death. The text displayed in this site was obtained from a transcription of the talk made by R.N.Hall and distributed by General Electric Laboratories as report No. 68-C-035 in April 1968. The printed report was scanned at 300dpi with an HP flatbed scanner and the resulting images were processed by the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software CuneiForm99. The results were edited in order to correct the few OCR errors, restore formatting information (such as underlines) that is lost during OCR, and conversion to a format appropriate for web display. No changes other than formatting have been made intentionally. A few comments that were added are marked in green . The notation (p.N)

Extractions: Irving Langmuir (1881-1957) was one of the most proficient and thoughtful research scientists of the 20th century. Dr. Langmuir, a Nobel laureate and avid outdoorsman, made a hobby of understanding the mechanism of natural phenomena (1). Receiving an undergraduate degree from Columbia University School of Mines in 1903, Dr. Langmuir's days at Columbia initiated a career devoted to research for the benefit of society. The Langmuir Scholars Program strives to foster a generation of undergraduate Columbia scientists that can think about environmental problems with a similar style as Dr. Langmuir. The bulk of Irving Langmuir's research was conducted while working as an industrial research scientist for General Electric. His work, which included 63 patents while at GE (2), spanned a wide array of disciplines. In chemistry, his models and techniques of surface interactions won him a Nobel Prize and still have modern applications. Additionally, his improvements on Tungsten light bulbs have saved billions of watts of electricity. Dr. Langmuir also contributed to the earth sciences producing some of the first data on cloud nucleation and ocean convective currents. In fact, his experiments involving the Langmuir circulation currents was performed while he was on vacation at Lake George, New York. Other achievements by Dr. Langmuir include work on ionized gases, vacuum tubes, and the quantum theory.

Extractions: 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.
