Langmuir's World (video).

This 45 minute talk portrays the career of the chemist and inventor Dr. Irving Langmuir, the first industrial scientist to win the Nobel Prize. Among his discoveries and inventions were the gas-filled light bulb, submarine sonar devices, and cloud seeding that was able to control weather. In Soil Science, Irving Langmuir is best known for his development of the adsorption model, well known to us now as the Langmuir Equation. This 1998 documentary was produced by Langmuir's grandson, Roger Summerhayes, who is also a guest speaker at this year's symposium "100th Anniversary of the Langmuir Equation: 1916-2016".
