Vor 2 Tagen · William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, may not have worked directly in the field of paper conservation, but his scientific contributions have profoundly influenced the technologies and methods used to protect and preserve paper in archives. His pioneering work in thermodynamics and electromagnetism underpins the environmental control systems that are essential to modern preventive conservation ...
Vor 2 Tagen · This year, to mark the bicentenary of the man born William Thomson on June 26, 1824, the University is celebrating the tour de force that made incredible contributions to the sciences of thermodynamics, electricity, engineering and magnetism – and whose influence, through innovation and inventions, continues to inspire and shape the world in which we live.
Vor 5 Tagen · William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin, invented the Kelvin's Compass, a type of marine compass that was less affected by the iron hulls of ships, enhancing navigational precision. Finally Compasses have evolved from simple lodestones to sophisticated digital devices, yet the traditional magnetic needle brass compass remains a symbol of timeless reliability and craftsmanship.
Vor 5 Tagen · In 1852 Joule and William Thomson (later Lord Kelvin) discovered that when a gas is allowed to expand without performing external work, the temperature of the gas falls. This “ Joule-Thomson effect ” was used to build a large refrigeration industry in the 19th century.
