Les atomes

Book • 2014
Published in 1913, 'Les atomes' is a seminal work by Jean Perrin that builds on his groundbreaking experiments on Brownian motion.

The book is an accessible version of his earlier papers, aimed at non-specialists, and it provides significant evidence for the physical reality of atoms and molecules.

Perrin's work was instrumental in validating the kinetic theory of gases and aligning with Albert Einstein's mathematical predictions on Brownian motion.

The book includes illustrations and discussions on the density of suspended particles and their motion, further solidifying Perrin's contributions to the field of physical chemistry.
