Solvay conference

In 1925 quantum mechanics arrived, a new theory with which Einstein never found peace. His celebrated dialogue with Niels Bohr on this topic started at the 1927 Solvay Conference. They were to argue almost until Einstein s death without agreeing.

Not only kinetics but also the role of polar catalysts like water increasingly was viewed as the cause of chemical activation, as we will see later. In his paper at the 1925 Solvay conference, Job brought into strong focus the role... 

A few weeks before the first Solvay chemistry conference in 1922, French chemists signed a letter declining to reestablish relations among chemists of Western and Central Europe. A copy of this letter, 3 April 22, is in the Donnan Papers, UCL. On the Solvay conferences, see M. J.

XVIth SOLVAY CONFERENCE ON CHEMISTRY BRUSSELS, NOVEMBER 22-NOVEMBER 26, 1976... 

The papers and discussions in this volume were presented at the XVIth Solvay Conference on Chemistry held at the Free University of Brussels from November 22 to November 26, 1976. 

It is a pleasure and an honor to welcome the participants to this XXth Solvay Conference on Chemistry. 

The theory of quanta has been a central preoccupation of the Solvay Conference since the first Solvay Conference on Physics, which took place in 1911. On that occasion, the fundamental discrepancies between classical theory and experimental data, which appeared at the beginning of the century, were discussed by major figures of modem science like Marie Curie, Albert Einstein, Max Planck, Henri Poincare, and many others. 

Advances in Chemical Physics, Volume 101 Chemical Reactions and Their Control on the Femtosecond Time Scale, XXth Solvay Conference on Chemistry, Edited by Pierre Gaspard,... 

The XXth Solvay Conference on Chemistry was devoted to chemical reactions and their control on the femtosecond time scale. The conference followed the wonderful tradition of appreciation of scientists and scientific discoveries. We owe our appreciation to Ilya Prigogine, Director of the Solvay Institutes, Stuart Rice, Chairman of the Scientific Committee, and Pierre Gaspard, the Conference Scientific Secretary and Organizer.
