Professor of physics at Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge. He made elaborate investigations of the electrochemical equivalent of silver and of the combining volumes and compressibilities of gases. His observation that nitrogen prepared from the atmosphere is heavier than nitrogen prepared from ammonia led to the discovery of argon, the first noble gas. He also contributed to optics and acoustics. 

After the great physicist Clerk Maxwell died in 1879, Lord Rayleigh became his successor at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge. During his professorship the classes increased in size, and women from Girton and Newnham colleges were for the first time admitted on the same terms as the men. Since he was allowed insufficient funds for the purchase of new apparatus, he contributed ,500 of his own money and solicited his friends for similar contributions until he had collected 1500 (3). 

In addition, there are a few more impact machines which are more relevant for the study of mechanism of initiation of ignition or explosion of HEMs on impact rather than their impact sensitivity. A lot of research in this direction has been carried out at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge University, UK by Bowden, Yoffe, Field and their coworkers [53-59].

The coexistence of liquid and vapour phases and critical phenomena may be treated from the point of view of thermodynamic surfaces. The p, T surface was described by James Thomson ( 2.VII C) but the full theory of surfaces with other coordinates was first given by Gibbs. Maxwell took a great interest in Gibbs s paper, gave an abstract of it, and constructed a model surface, Boynton,7 who used reduced coordinates (7r=/7/pc, etc.) and van der Waals s equation, says Maxwell made two models one is in the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, and the other was sent to Gibbs at Yale University,...

In a letter to P. G. Tait in 1871, J. C. Maxwell said the following about the use of quaternions in the laws of physics the virtue of the 4nions lies not so much as yet in solving hard questions as in enabling us to see the meaning of the question and its solutions, Archives, Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge Univ. 

Watson s next research post at Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, England, brought him into contact with the physicist turned biologist Francis Crick. Together they shared an interest in DNA. Thus began the partnership between Watson and Crick that resulted in their joint proposal of the double-helical model of the DNA in 1953. Watson, Crick, and Wilkins shared the 1962 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for their DNA studies. 

This thesis is the result of work carried out between May 2009 and August 2012 with the Thin Films and Interfaces Group at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, UK, and was only made possible by generous funding through Nokia and with the kind help and support I received from numerous people. 

This truly exciting result was first obtained in 2001 by T. Fink and R. Ball at Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge University in England . We mention three interesting consequences of this result. First, the number of possible memorized conformations does not depend on the chain length, N. Second, given that In 20 3, we see that regular proteins can memorize... 

Watson, James Dewey (1928- ) US biochemist, who moved to the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, in 1951 to studythe structure of DNA. In 1953 he and Francis Crick announced the now accepted two-stranded helical structure for the DNA molecule. In 1962 they shared the Nobel Prize for physiology or medicine with Maurice Wiliclns (1916-2004), who with Rosalind Franklin (1920-58) had made X-ray diffraction studies of DNA. 

Aston, Francis William (1877-1945) English atomic physicist who worked with J.J. Thomson at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge. His principal field of study was in elements of equal atomic number but different atomic weight (isotopes).

I would like to acknowledge the invaluable advice of R. M. Martin on several controversial issues encountered while this text was being written I have also benefited from discussions with H. Bilz, V. Heine, R. Resta, 0. H. Nielsen, C. and N. Churcher. I am grateful for the hospitality extended to me by the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge. This work was partly supported by a NATO grant and the computer resources were provided by the Scientific Committee of CCVR (Centre de Calcul Vectoriel pour la Recherche, France).
