high-vacuum

This science requires advanced high-vacuum experimental equipment as the aim is to observe how individual layers of atoms and molecules behave on the extremely pure surface of a metal, for instance.

Without taking away from the scientific merit, in practical terms, a better way to characterize what was found is transient outgassing of water molecules – water molecules are formed, and then proceed to leave the surface like they do from the walls of any high-vacuum chamber.

Thomson (1856 – 1940) discovered the electron in a series of experiments designed to study the nature of electric discharge in a high-vacuum cathode-ray tube — an area being investigated by numerous scientists at the time.

Thomson, Joseph John 2008

He discovered monomolecular films with specific molecular orientation at surfaces and promoted understanding of plasmas, heat transfer, and thermionic phenomena, and invented a high-vacuum electron tube and gas-filled incandescent lamp.

In the 1890s Crookes was able to do all this with his “Crookes Tube” cathode ray tube, a high-vacuum glass tube with two electrodes in it.

In a breathless but generally reliable book titled The Islamic Bomb, published in 1981, the reporters Steve Weissman and Herbert Krosney tell a typical story of three of Khan's purchasing agents, who in 1976 went to a small Swiss company in a small Swiss town and proposed to buy its specialized high-vacuum valves for the express purpose of equipping a Pakistani centrifuge enrichment plant.

Despite the double-walled, stainless-steel tank that stores the liquid in high-vacuum conditions with aluminum reflective foil, the liquid hydrogen in the 8-kilogram fuel tank begins to boil after 17 hours if the car remains parked.
