5 de ago. de 2024 · Magnetic fields produced by electric currents can be calculated for any shape of circuit using the law of Biot and Savart, named for the early 19th-century French physicists Jean-Baptiste Biot and Félix Savart.
Hace 5 días · While the subject of meteor origin had been debated in the wake of Chladni's thesis, Jean-Baptiste Biot's on-the-spot investigation brought the reality of this phenomenon into the scientific consensus. It's interesting to note that science has only been acknowledging this reality for two centuries.
Hace 5 días · The arrival in Paris of the unique artifact prompted a renewed interest in the zodiac from French scientists, and a spate of treatises soon appeared. One of the first was by Jean-Baptiste Biot, who suggested a more modest date of 800 BC for the zodiac.
9 de ago. de 2024 · Physicist Jean-Baptiste Biot investigated the meteors and, after interviews and mineral analysis, confirmed the rocks were, indeed, not of this world, calling the event “one of the most astonishing phenomena that men have ever observed” in his report for the Académie Française.
30 de jul. de 2024 · Fortunately, a nearly two hundred year old discovery by the French physicist Jean-Baptiste Biot has made this task much easier. This discovery disclosed that the right- and left-handed enantiomers of a chiral compound perturb plane-polarized light in opposite ways.
Hace 17 horas · Jean-Baptiste Biot (1774-1862). French physicist, astronomer and mathematician who came to understand the nature of the polarization of light, magnetism and electricity. He lends his name to the biot unit which measures electric currents.
Hace 3 días · Jean-Baptiste Biot and François Arago would publish in 1821 their observations completing those of Delambre and Mechain. It was an account of the length's variation of the degrees of latitude along the Paris meridian as well as the account of the variation of the seconds pendulum's length along the same meridian between Shetland and the Baleares.
