...jelly-like substances, solutions of which pass through an animal membrane with difficulty, as opposed to other types of solutions known as crystalloids. Glue, gelatin, starch and albumen are typical colloids. Their importance has come to be recognized only in the last few years. Wilhelm Ostwald, the great Leipzig chemist, was a pioneer in the investigation of colloids, and many scientists are daily adding to the store of knowledge about them...
...three general addresses were made by 1) Robert A. Millikan, Professor of Physics, California Institute of Technology, and Nobel prizewinner for 1923, on The Atom as Seen by the Physicist. 2) Dr. Gilbert N. Lewis, Professor of Chemistry, University of California, on The Atom as Seen by the Chemist. 3) Dr. Edwin E. Slosson, Director of Science Service, and author of Creative Chemistry, on The Expansion of Chemistry. The Society also divided into the following general divisions, as well as many smaller sections: chemistry of medicinal products; organic chemistry; industrial and engineering chemistry; physical and inorganic chemistry...
...atomic symposium, some differences of opinion between the physicist and the chemist came to light. Said Prof. Millikan in substance...
...potential energy to a lower, and the frequency of radiation is proportional to the energy loss in the process. This is the Einstein-Bohr law of radiation, which has been amply verified in the past five years. As to what the electrons are doing when they are not radiating, chemists and physicists on the whole hold divergent views. The chemist believes the electrons are at rest (what I call "the loafer theory"), but the physicist believes they are rotating in orbits at enormous speed. The chemist argues that such activity would soon dissipate all their energy, which is unanswerable...
