In 1878 Hertz enrolled at the University of Berlin to study under Hermann von Helmholtz, the leading German physicist of the time. He obtained his degree magna cum laude in 1880 with a theoretical dissertation on the electromagnetic induction of currents in... 

The three men whose work later in the nineteenth century was crucial in bringing clarity to this principle were two Germans, the physician Julius Robert Mayer and the great polymath Hermann von Helmholtz, and the British amateur scientist James Joule. In a lecture delivered by Helmholtz on February 7, 1854, in Konigsberg on The Interaction of Natural Forces, ... 

There is a very important equation relating to the electromotive forces of reversible cells which was deduced independently by J. Willard Gibbs (1875) and H. von Helmholtz (1882), and is usually called the Gibbs-Helmholtz Equation. 

Hermann von Helmholtz put the concept of EDL formation at electrode surfaces forward in 1853. For a long time only the interfacial EDLs were taken into account. The considerable importance of various kinds of superficial EDLs was pointed out by Alexander N. Frumkin in 1919.

The idea that microbes could migrate across the universe was supported by scientists with a worldwide reputation, such as H. von Helmholtz, W. Thomson (later Lord Kelvin) and Svante Arrhenius. This hypothesis was still accepted by Arrhenius in the year 1927, when he reported in the Zeitschrift fur Physikalische Chemie on his assumption that thermophilic bacteria could be transported within a few days from Venus (with a calculated surface temperature of 320 K) to the Earth by the radiation pressure of the sun (Arrhenius, 1927). The panspermia hypothesis, which seemed to have disappeared in the intervening decades, was reintroduced in the ideas of Francis Crick (Crick and Orgel, 1973). It still exists in a modified form (see Sect. 11.1.2.4).

Welby (Oxford Clarendon Press, 1906) 340 "Chemists must be allowed to form hypotheses after their fashion, since the whole extraordinarily comprehensive system of organic chemistry has developed in the most irrational manner, always linked with sensory images, which could not possibly be legitimate in the form in which they are represented."...
