The Niels Bohr Library of the American Institute of Physics has obtained an original manuscript by Walther Hermann Nernst, the German physical chemist who won the 1920 Nobel Prize in chemistry. One of the founders of modern physical chemistry, his numerous achievements included the establishment of the heat theorem which bears his name, the determination of specific heats at very low temperatures, and his method for determining the dielectric constants and their influence on electrolytic dissociation. He died in Muskau, near Berlin, in 1941.
