Irving Langmuir, American chemist
Irving Langmuir (1881-1957), American chemical physicist. Langmuirs most famous publication was his article The Arrangement of Electrons in Atoms and Molecules in which, he outlined his concentric theory of atomic structure. Langmuir is credited with the invention of the first, gas-filled tungsten lamp. He was the first industrial chemist to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Chemistry (1932), for his work on surface adsorption. His studies led to his coining the terms electrovalence, covalence and plasma

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Irving Langmuir, an influential American chemist and physicist. Langmuir's groundbreaking research on atomic structure led to the development of his concentric theory, which he outlined in his renowned publication "The Arrangement of Electrons in Atoms and Molecules". His contributions extended beyond theoretical work, as he also invented the first gas-filled tungsten lamp. Langmuir's remarkable achievements earned him the prestigious Nobel Prize for Chemistry in 1932, making him the first industrial chemist to receive this esteemed honor. His pioneering studies on surface adsorption paved the way for significant advancements in surface chemistry. In addition to coining terms like electrovalence, covalence, and plasma, Langmuir left an indelible mark on both physical chemistry and physics. This monochrome portrait captures a moment frozen in time during the mid-20th century when Langmuir was at the height of his career. As a Caucasian male with a distinguished appearance befitting his accomplishments, Irving Langmuir stands as an emblematic figure within scientific history. This photograph serves as a powerful reminder of his invaluable contributions to our understanding of atomic structures and chemical processes. Science Photo Library presents this extraordinary image that encapsulates not only Irving Langmuir's legacy but also highlights the significance of industrial chemistry in shaping our world today.
