| Ironmaster, born in Châtillon-sur-Seine, NE France. While engaged in research on the liquefaction of gases (1877), he liquefied hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, and air for the first time by compression, cooling, and sudden expansion. This was also done by Swiss physicist Raoul Pictet (1846–1929) at about the same time. |
