Vonnegut said in an interview with The Nation that " Langmuir was absolutely indifferent to the uses that might be made of the truths he dug out of the rock and handed out to whoever was around, but any truth he found was beautiful in its own right, and he didn ’ t give a damn who got it next.

Langmuir is said to have come up with an idea about a form of solid water that was stable at room temperature in the hopes that Wells might be inspired to write a story about it.

Physicist Robert Park states that parapsychology's reported positive results are problematic because most such findings are invariably at the margin of statistical significance and that might be explained by a number of confounding effects ; Park states that such marginal results are a typical symptom of pathological science as described by Irving Langmuir.

Irving Langmuir coined the phrase pathological science in a talk in 1953.

Pathological science, as defined by Langmuir, is a psychological process in which a scientist, originally conforming to the scientific method, unconsciously veers from that method, and begins a pathological process of wishful data interpretation ( see the Observer-expectancy effect, and cognitive bias ).

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

Langmuir offered additional examples of what he regarded as pathological science in his original speech:

In 1953 Irving Langmuir dubbed Gurwitsch's ideas pathological science.

Langmuir never intended the term to be rigorously defined ; it was simply the title of his talk on some examples of " weird science ".

Irving Langmuir was also one of the founders of this field, and the scientific journal on surface science, Langmuir, bears his name.

* Langmuir ( unit ), a unit of exposure of an adsorbate / gas to a substrate used in surface science to study adsorption

The position that " Christian theological anti-Judaism is a phenomenon distinct from modern antisemitism, which is rooted in economic and racial thought, so that Christian teachings should not be held responsible for antisemitism " has been articulated, among other places, by Pope John Paul II in ' We Re member: A Reflection on the Shoah ,' and the Jewish declaration on Christianity, Dabru Emet .. Several scholars, including Susannah Heschel, Gavin I Langmuir and Uriel Tal the General Synod has affirmed that " the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ is for all and must be shared with all including people from other faiths or of no faith and that to do anything else would be to institutionalize discrimination ".

This specific Langmuir probe is on a mission to study the space plasma around the 67P / Churyumov-Gerasimenko | comet.

A Langmuir probe is a device named after Nobel Prize winning physicist Irving Langmuir, used to determine the electron temperature, electron density, and electric potential of a plasma.

The beginning of Langmuir probe theory is the I-V characteristic of the Debye sheath, that is, the current density flowing to a surface in a plasma as a function of the voltage drop across the sheath.

Although this is the expression usually given in theoretical discussions of Langmuir probes, the derivation is not rigorous and the experimental basis is weak.

Understanding electron saturation is one of the most important outstanding problems of Langmuir probe theory.

Debye sheath theory explains the basic behavior of Langmuir probes, but is not complete.

The theory of Langmuir probes is much more complex when the plasma is magnetized.

The Langmuir adsorption equation is used to model monolayer adsorption where all surface adsorption sites have the same affinity for the adsorbing species.

A Langmuir monolayer or insoluble monolayer is a one-molecule thick layer of an insoluble organic material spread onto an aqueous subphase.

The Langmuir isotherm is nonetheless the first choice for most models of adsorption, and has many applications in surface kinetics ( usually called Langmuir-Hinshelwood kinetics ) and thermodynamics.

Langmuir suggested that adsorption takes place through this mechanism:, where A is a gas molecule and S is an adsorption site.

Often molecules do form multilayers, that is, some are adsorbed on already adsorbed molecules and the Langmuir isotherm is not valid.

x is the pressure divided by the vapor pressure for the adsorbate at that temperature ( usually denoted ), v is the STP volume of adsorbed adsorbate, v < sub > mon </ sub > is the STP volume of the amount of adsorbate required to form a monolayer and c is the equilibrium constant K we used in Langmuir isotherm multiplied by the vapor pressure of the adsorbate.

A Langmuir monolayer can be compressed or expanded by modifying its area with a moving barrier in a Langmuir film balance.

The first true vacuum triodes in production were the Pliotrons developed by Irving Langmuir at the General Electric research laboratory ( Schenectady, New York ) in 1915.

Her father's former colleagues introduced her to research chemist Irving Langmuir.

During her research, she often worked with Langmuir, who had worked with her father.

Collisions between ions and electrons will also affect the I-V characteristic of a Langmuir probe.

While working for GE, Langmuir and Blodgett discovered that when a solid surface is inserted into an aqueous solution containing monolayers of organics then the monolayer will deposit homogeneously over the surface.

Synchrotron radiation was named after its discovery in a General Electric synchrotron accelerator built in 1946 and announced in May 1947 by Frank Elder, Anatole Gurewitsch, Robert Langmuir, and Herb Pollock in a letter entitled " Radiation from Electrons in a Synchrotron ".

They installed an electromagnetic energy measuring device, ( Langmuir probe ) on Pirs, removed the Russian Biorisk long-duration experiment, installed the Exposing Specimens of Organic and Biological Materials to Open Space ( Expose-R ) experiment package on Zvezda, but subsequently removed it after it failed to activate and transmit telemetry on ground command.

Plasma oscillations, also known as " Langmuir waves " ( after Irving Langmuir ), are rapid oscillations of the electron density in conducting media such as plasmas or metals.

This equation is known as Child's Law, after Clement Dexter Child ( 1868 – 1933 ), who first published it in 1911, or as the Child – Langmuir Law, honoring as well Irving Langmuir, who discovered it independently and published in 1913.

Shortly after Langmuir described the transfer of amphiphilic films from water surfaces to solid surfaces ( Langmuir, 1920 ).

Langmuir – Blodgett films are named after Irving Langmuir and Katharine B. Blodgett, who invented this technique while working in Research and Development for General Electric Co. An alternative technique of creating single monolayers on surfaces is that of self-assembled monolayers.

It is named after American physicist Irving Langmuir.

The term " covalence " in regard to bonding was first used in 1919 by Irving Langmuir in a Journal of the American Chemical Society article entitled " The Arrangement of Electrons in Atoms and Molecules ".

Irving Langmuir ( 31 January 1881 – 16 August 1957 ) was an American chemist and physicist.

While at General Electric, from 1909 – 1950, Langmuir advanced several basic fields of physics and chemistry, invented the gas-filled incandescent lamp, the hydrogen welding technique, and was awarded the 1932 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for his work in surface chemistry.

The Langmuir Laboratory for Atmospheric Research near Socorro, New Mexico was named in his honor as was the American Chemical Society journal for Surface Science, called Langmuir.

Irving Langmuir was born in Brooklyn, New York, on 31 January 1881.

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

Another criticism, made by chemist Irving Langmuir, among others, was one of selective reporting.

The term was first used by Irving Langmuir, Nobel Prize-winning chemist, during a 1953 colloquium at the Knolls Research Laboratory.

Langmuir was one of the first scientists to realize that a harder vacuum would improve the amplifying behaviour of the triode.

" The vacuum was still excellent, so Langmuir and I came to the end of the wall and observed.

Unlike the Audion, the vacuum triode could not demodulate radio signals directly ( although Langmuir and other researchers soon found alternative ways to do this ), but it was capable of linear ( i. e. undistorted ) amplification, which turned out to be a vastly more useful feature.

The method was developed by Irving Langmuir and his co-workers in the 1920s, and has since been further developed in order to extend its applicability to more general conditions than those presumed by Langmuir.

It was further developed in 1919 by Irving Langmuir as the cubical octet atom.
