planomenonAre there any #STS scholars and/or scientists who have written about the societal influence and interconnections with more involved and applied sides of #quantum mechanics like: lattice simulations, cooling methods, Feynman diagrams, quantum trajectories, stochastic equations, measurement techniques and types etc? Any leads appreciated! #academicchatter #physics #historyofphysics

Patrick Koppenburg 🐧🐘Actually, this refers to Antoine Cesar Becquerel, grand-father of Henri Becquerel (1852-1908). He worked on electrochemistry and batteries. The father Antoine Edmond (1820-1891) was also physicist and invented colour photography in 1848. #historyOfPhysics
