‎First appearance of Born and Fock's important paper in which they introduced their adiabatic theorem, a concept in quantum mechanics which they stated as follows: "" A physical system remains in its instantaneous eigenstate if a given perturbation is acting on it slowly enough and if there is a gap between the eigenvalue and the rest of the Hamiltonian's spectrum."" (From the present paper). The concept of this theorem deals with the time-dependent Hamiltonian - a subject of Quantum dynamics - where the Hamiltonian changes with time.The present issue also contain Gamow's ""Zur Quantentheorie des Atomkernes"" containing the first direct calculation of the Geiger-Nuttall law.‎

(PMM N° 203) ---- "Boscovitch's most important work, in which he developed his theory of "points" which are the first elements of all matter". (Honneyman N° 427 1st ed. 1758) ---- "Philosophiae naturalis theoria is now recognized as having exerted a fundamental influence on modern mathematical physics... Boscovich's theories are concerned in the first place with the constitution of matter, the behaviour of physical forces and the nature of atoms and of light. Lucretius's theory conceived of atoms as hard particles in continual motion in a void, influencing each other by impact... Newton was an atomist, with a clear notion of inter-atomic forces. Boscovich's views are different and come nearer certain ideas of modern physics. As the tile of his book implies, he considered that a single law was the basis of all natural phenomena and of the properties of matter ; that the multiplicity of physical forces was only apparent and due to inadequate mathematical knowledge. These "point-atoms" of Boscovisch were deemed to have a position - but no extension - in space, and to possess mass. Boscovich believed that each atom is surrounded by a field of force, alternately positive and negative through a number of cycles. The force exists whether there is at any point another atom for it to act upon, or not. Newton (and every other atomist) could not believe in the continuity of matter. The Theoria had an immediate success in scientific circles. Priestley read it. Boskovic's theory influzenced the position of nineteenth-century field physics with regard to the relations between space and matter ; it was employed by Faraday and Kelvin, and J.J. Thomson used its curve of forces to introduce the earliest concepts of atomic physics". (PMM N° 203 & Norman N° 277 1758 ed.**ARB3‎

‎First appearance of Bose's seminal paper in which he succeeded in deriving the Planck blackbody radiation law without reference to classical electrodynamics. Einstein was extremely impressed by Bose's paper and translated it into German himself. Shortly after Einstein made a generalization of Bose's method which led to the first of two systems of quantum statistical mechanics, known as the Bose-Einstein statistics. Paul Dirac coined the term ""boson"" for particles that obey these statistics and later physics historian Abraham Dirac described it as a ""confused masterpiece"", (Pais, Inward Bound, P. 283). ""With their work Bose and Einstein established the field of quantum statistics one year before the appearance of quantum mechanics"" (Brandt, The Harvest of a Century, P. 139).""In July 1924 he sent a short manuscript entitled ""Plancks Gesetz und Lichtquantenhypothese"" to Albert Einstein for criticism and possible publication. Einstein himself translated the paper into German and had it published in the Zeitschrift für Physik later that year.

(DSB). "Bossut wrote a series of textbooks that won wide acceptance from the 1770's until the early years of the Empire. The texts of Bossut represent the emergence in the eighteenth century of standardized, rigorous system of engineering, physics text-books... In 1761, 1762 and 1765, Bossut won or shared prizes given by the Academy for memoirs on mechanics applied to the operation of ships and on the resistance of the ether in planetary motions. He won additional prizes for his mechanics memoirs...". (DSB II, pp. 334/335) ---- "This work is essentially an outgrowth of the hydrodynamics part of Bossut's course in mathematics. The first volume provides an excellent picture of the state of knowledge at Bossut's time. The experimental data presented in the second volume were largely new, and noteworthy even today are his comments on the difficulty of large-scale experiments versus the falsity of those on too small a scale".

Bothe estimated the photon energy from the degree of absorption of the secondary electrons.
