Heike Kamerlingh Onnes
Dutch physicist (–)
Heike Kamerlingh Onnes (Dutch:[ˈɦɛikəˈkaːmərlɪŋˈɔnəs]; 21 September – 21 February ) was a Dutch physicist.
After studying in Groningen and Heidelberg, he became professor of experimental physics at the University of Leiden where he taught from to In , he established a cryogenics laboratory where he exploited the Hampson–Linde cycle to investigate how materials behave when cooled to nearly absolute zero.
Dutch physicist and Nobel Prize winner, was born on September 21, in the city of Groeningen.
In , he became the first to liquefyhelium, cooling it to near Kelvin, at the time the coldest temperature achieved on earth. For this research, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in Using liquid helium to investigate the electrical conductivity of solid mercury, he found in that at K its electrical resistance vanishes, thus discovering superconductivity.[1][2][3]
