‎First publication of Pierce's seminal and exceedingly influential paper on traveling-wave tube amplifiers. A Traveling-wave tube is an electronic device used to amplify radio frequency signals to high power. Even though the invention is widely contributed to Rudolf Kompfner in 1942-43, and Nils Lindenblad patented a device in 1940 similar to the traveling wave tube, is it Pierce that invented a fully functional and useable device.""It was Pierce who exploited its [the Traveling-Wave Tube] great potential as a broadband ultrahigh frequency and microwave amplifier. Pierce's initial successes with the new amplifier and his theoretical analysis of the operation of the traveling wave principle provided stimulus for colleagues at Bell Labs and workers elsewhere to enter this field of research."" (Millman, S. A History of Engineering & Science in the Bell System, 1984, p. 177).The first communication satellite the Telstar had not been able to send signals back to earth without Pierce' Traveling-Wave Tube.

‎First edition of these four fundamental and highly influential Planck-papers in which he defines his concept of entropy and heat radiation and hereby ANTICIPATES HIS FAMOUS SEMINAL PAPER OF 1900 which redefined physics and took it to the 20th century. - The first two papers ""Ueber irreversible Strahlungsvorgänge"" were rewritten for the ""Annalen"" and was first introduced in ""Sitzungsberichte d.k. Akad. Wissensch. zu Berlin"", 1897-1901.""By invoking the hypothesis of natural radiation Planck not only succeeded in obtaining a relation between the energy of the resonator and the intensity of radiation for a given wavelength or frequency, but also in defining the entropy of radiation by a proper expression such that the change of the total entropy was always a positive quantity"". (Mehra, Jagdish. The historical development of quantum theory, 2001, p. 36). These results found in the period 1894-00 culminated in the present paper ""Ueber irreversible Strahlungsvorgänge"" and for the first time incorporates the concept of natural radiation and made a purely electromagnetic definition of entropy and of temperature. ""Entropie und Temperatur strahlender Wärme"" is pivotal for understand how Planck reached his conclusions in ""Zur Theorie des Gesetzes der Energieverteilung im Normalspectrum"" and ""Ueber des Gesetzes der Energiverteilung im Normalspectrum"" (PMM 391) where by using the first two laws of thermodynamics first described by Rudolf Clausius and Ludwig Boltzmann Planck outlined the Quantum Hypothesis that energy from atom can be quantized. Planck established a connection between Wien's formula (Ueber die Energievertheilung im Emissionsspectrum eines schwarzen Körpers, 1896) and the analytic expression of the thermodynamic function. This paper represents a purely thermodynamic approach to the study of the properties of the radiation field which was fundamental in reaching the famous conclusions in his 1900- and 1901-paper.

‎First appearance of Planck's seminal paper on entropy carrying the general title ""On the principles of Increase of Entropy"" in which he applied the second law of thermodynamics to chemical problems. The paper is part of the 4 paper series on the subject.""His goal was, as he said in the first paper of the series, to carry further the ""grand generalization"" of Helmholtz, Josiah Willard Gibbs, and others: like the first principle of the mechanical heat theory, the second, the ""Carnot-Clausius"", principle applies not only to heat phenomena but to all kinds of physical and chemical phenomena"" and because the second principle applies not only to reversible processes but also to irreversible, or ""natural"", processes, it applies to all processes whatsoever...""(Jungnickel and McCormach ""Intellectual Mastery of Nature, vol. 2, pp. 52 ff.)What Einstein admired and called Planck's ""first great scientific discovery"" was the generality of its formulas which contain all that can be derived from pure thermodynamic principles. Einstein referred to the third paper in this series with the title ""Gesetze des Eintritts beliebiger thermodynamischer und chemischer Reactionen""‎
