Curie and Joliot were awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry 1935 "in recognition of their synthesis of new radioactive elements"."Until this date 1934 atomic nuclei emitting radiation were found in nature: it was called the natural radioactivity. It had been known since Rutherford that this natural radioactivity changed a nucleus into an other one: for instance radium becomes finally lead after many radioactive decays. We could say that lead does not become gold but gold becomes lead! But. this change of matter was not under control. It was not possible to construct the desired chemical element as the alchemist dreamed. But Irene and Frederic Joliot-Curie made the dream become almost reality.""Another very important development in the early 1934 by the Joliot-Curies in connection with irradiation of aluminum by alpha particles. The two French scientists detected the production of the recently discovered positrons. . However they soon realized that the positron activity continued after the alpha source was removed and that they had in fact discovered positive beta radioactivity. The importance of the discovery of artificial radioactivity was immediately recognized and resulted in a Nobel Prize in chemistry to the Joliot-Curies in 1935. The new phenomenon immediately became widely employed in nuclear physics chemistry biology and medicine." Kragh Quantum Generations p. 187"These elegant experiments which provided the first chemical proof of induced transmutations and showed the possibility of artificially creating radioisotopes of known stable elements were repeated and extended in the major nuclear physics laboratories of various countries " DSB.Born on 12 September 1897 in Paris Irène Curie was the daughter of Pierre and Marie Curie. "During World War I she worked as a nurse helping her mother operate radiography equipment and then studied physics and mathematics at the Sorbonne gaining a doctorate for studying the range of alpha particles. She then went to work for her mother at the Radium Institute. There she met Frédéric Joliot whom she married in 1926. Frédéric Joliot was born on 19 March 1900 in Paris - He joined the Radium Institute in 1925 and obtained his PhD in 1930. Together the Joliot-Curies worked on radioactivity and the transmutation of the elements. Twice they just missed major discoveries: in 1932 when Chadwick beat them to the neutron and in 1933 when Anderson discovered the positron. However in 1934 whilst bombarding light elements with alpha particles the Joliot-Curies noticed that although proton production stopped when the alpha particle bombardment stopped another form of radiation continued. The alpha particles had produced an isotope of phosphorus not found in nature. This isotope was radioactive and was decaying through beta-decay" DSB. unknown

The entire issue offered. Henry's paper: pp. 282-312. First German version of Henry's description of his discovery of self-induction. He missed the credit for the discovery of induction to Faraday but he had done the key experiment ahead of Faraday but Faraday was the first to publish. But he is credited for the discovery of self-induction 1832 and Faraday discovered it independently two years later 1834."In Henry's paper however he explained thet the electric current in a coil can induce another current not only in another coil but in itself. The actual current observed in the coil is then the combination of the original current and the induced current. This is called self induction."Isac Asimov.The issue contains further notable papers Michael Faraday's "Vierzehnte Reihe von Experimental-Untersuchungen über Elektricität" § 2o-22. Nos 1667-1748. Pp. 249-281. First German version. In this paper FARADAYamplifies his theory of electrostatic induction by making further use of the analogy with the induction of magnetism. Whittaker describes the paper as having "THE FUNDAMENTAL EQUATION OF ELECTROSTATICS" as modified in order to take into account the effect of the specific inductive capacity."Whittaker I pp.187-89. unknown

First appearance in German of Ångström's famous paper in which he announced the discovery of hydrogen in the atmosphere of the sun and in which he also confirmed the probable existence of of other elements there. The paper appeared in "Oefversigt af K. Vet. Acad. Förhandl." in 1861. The German paper here is expanded. At the same time it was translated into English and publishe as "On the Fraunhofer Lines Visible in the Solar Spectrum".Ångström was one of the early formulators of the science of modern spectroscopy; he wrote extensively on terrestrial magnetism the conduction of heat and especially spectroscopy. He published a monumental map of the normal solar spectrum that expressed the length of light waves in units of one ten-millionth of a millimeter a unit of length now known as the angstrom. He discovered that hydrogen is present in the sun's atmosphere and he was the first to examine the spectrum of the aurora borealis. unknown

Entire volume offered. Braun's paper: pp. 556-563. First printing of Brown's importent paper in which he described his discovery of a semiconductor diode noting that electrical currents flows freely in only one direction at the contact between a metal point and a galena crystal."In 1874 Braun published the results of his research on mineral metal sulfides. He found that these crystals conducted electric currents in only one direction. This information was important in electrical research and in measuring another property of substances the electrical conductivity but Braun’s discovery did not have immediate practical application. In the early twentieth century the principle that Braun had discovered was employed in crystal radio receivers."DSB.The Nobel Prize in Physics 1909 was awarded jointly to Guglielmo Marconi and Karl Ferdinand Braun "in recognition of their contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy". hardcover

First printing of this milestone paper describing Plückers first observations on Cathode Rays which he called "the beautiful and mysterious green glow" and produced by discharges in tubes exhausted by means of the Geissler pump. These importent observations lead directly to Röntgens discovery of the Röntgen Rays."Cathode rays were first observed by Julius Plücker in 1859 the paper offered. They are rays which are found in the neighbourhood of the point of exit of an electrical current passing through a Geissler tube. These rays stimulated intense interest and experiment. William Crookes greatly improved these discharge tubes and intensified the degree of rarification of gases within them. The tubes in this form is known as Crookes tube. Crookes declared his conciction that the cathode rays represented matter in a fourth hitherto unobserved form.It was reserved for J.J. Thomson in 1908 to discover the true nature of the cathode rays."PMM no 386. unknown

First printing of Schmidt's full exposition in which he describes his discovery of the radioactivity of Thorium. Schmidt and Marie Curie independently demonstrated the radioactive quality but Schmidt's demonstration took place a few months before Curie's. The discovery was announced but not described in full in a short message published in "Verhandl. d. Phys. Gesellsch. zu Berlin 1898."Schmidt made his discovery while examining "many elements and compounds" in an effeort to determine whether any of the rays that were emitted bore a resemblance to those that Henri becquerel had found emerging from uranium and uranium compounds. He located only one such element thorium and immediately conducted absorption ionization reflection refradction and poklarization studies to determine the characteristics of its rays. Having combined a misinterpretation of Becquerel's with one of his own Schmidt concluded that thorium rays most resembled Röntgen rays - a conclusion that soon required revisoln in view of the researches of Marie Curie and Ernest Rutherford."DSB XII p. 191. unknown
