}Abstract.Heike Kamerlingh Onnes (1853-1926), born a century and a half ago, was a major protagonist in
the so-called Second Golden Age of Dutch Science. He devoted his career to the emerging field
of low-temperature physics. His particular concern was to test the theories of his older compatriot
Johannes Diderik van der Waals (1837-1923) by creating a style of research that was characterized
by meticulous planning, precise measurement, and constant improvement of techniques and
instruments. He… Expand
