Max Planck may not be a household name, but he gave the world a household phrase: quantum theory. According to the European Space Agency, ... The Planck time equation.

In 1899 Max Planck became a professor at the University of Berlin, after nine years at the University of Munich and Kiel University, in Germany. In his research there, he turned to a thermodynamic ...

These days, Max Planck’s name comes up most by way of the prestigious scientific institutes named after him. (The Max Planck Society runs 83 throughout Germany and the world.) But who was the ...

Following his previous research into the irreversibility of thermal processes, Max Planck turned his attention to the problem of black-body radiation in 1897. ... Planck's formula and its consequences ...

Planck, however, discovered in the phenomena of radiation a feature of discontinuity, which seemed surprisingly linked to the existence of the atom but which could not be explained in terms of it.

An ultra-thin glass fiber emits light of different wavelengths. Theories going beyond Planck's law can describe this emission very accurately. Planck’s Law: In 1900, the Physicist Max Planck came up ...

The Planck scale sets the universe’s minimum limit, beyond which the laws of physics break. In the late 1890s, physicist Max Planck proposed a set of units to simplify the expression of physics laws.

We solve the one-dimensional Fokker-Planck equation for radiation belt electrons under the assumption of the conservation of the first and second adiabatic invariants (so-called radial diffusion). We ...
