Biography:
Holst attended the HBS in Haarlem and, after receiving his diploma in 1903, worked in industry for two years. In 1905 he enrolled at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) in Zurich to study mechanical engineering, switching to mathematics and physics the following year, he received his diploma of Geprüfter Fachlehrer in 1908 and remained at the ETH as assistant to H.F. Weber until 1910. In that year, he became an assistant of Kamerlingh Onnes at the Leiden Physics laboratory. Here Holst made the first measurements of the electrical resistance of metals at liquid-Helium temperatures and was thus intimately involved in the discovery of superconductivity. For his dissertation, Holst made measurements of the thermal properties of ammonia and methyl chloride, and for this work he received his doctorate from the ETH in 1914.
Having finished his education, Holst joined the Philips Gloeilampenfabriek in Eindhoven, where he founded the Physics laboratory, which quickly became the most important industrial research laboratory in the Netherlands. He published a series of articles on measurements of illumination, the properties of Tungsten, and gas discharges. More importantly, Holst surrounded himself with capable associates (e.g., H.B.G. Casimir), whom he led and inspired, and he had a keen sense of which scientific results were ready for practical application. The laboratory's studies of gas discharges, for instance, were inspired by Bohr's atomic theory, important studies were performed under Holst's direction on radio tubes, X-Ray tubes, and photocells. Holst's early ideas about radio as a means of communication were controversial, but he was strongly supported by the company's owner, Anton Philips. By the mid-1930s, Holst had put together a research group on the electrical and magnetic properties of solids to investigate the possibilities opened up by quantum theory. From 1929 to 1939, Holst served as honorary professor at Leiden.
Personally reserved, Holst was not a good public speaker or talented writer: his talent lay in inspiring others. He made sure that his staff maintained contacts with the foremost researchers in scientific fields, and encouraged them to publish in scientific journals and attend scientific conferences. Although Holst suffered increasingly from depression, he carried on at the Philips laboratory until 1946, when he retired, retaining his connection with Philips as an adviser until 1956. From 1946 to 1956 he also served as 'curator' (governor) of the Technical College in Delft. He was instrumental in the founding of the Netherlands' second technical college in Eindhoven in 1957.

Biography:
Born in 1629, Huygens was the son of the poet and diplomat, Constantijn Huygens. He studied law in Leiden and Breda. He was interested mainly in mathematics and proved to be very talented early in life. With his brother Constantijn Jr., he ground lenses and made astronomical observations. He also developed a very accurate pendulum clock and established a wave-theory of light. His discoveries attracted attention abroad, and, in 1666, he was asked to lead the newly founded Académie des Sciences in Paris. After a few years absence caused by illness, he resigned from the Académie. Later in life he wrote a book on cosmolog, called 'Cosmotheoros'.

Inventor of the pendulum clock ("slingeruurwerk") and the aerial telescope. Designer of the Huygens ocular. Huygens discovered the moon of Saturn (Titan) and explained that a ring was present around this planet. He also established the wave-theory of light.

Biography:
Keesom was born on a farm in the southern part of the island of Texel into a devoutly Catholic family with no tradition of learning. He attended elementary school in Den Burgh, Texel, and, starting in 1889, the HBS in Alkmaar. In 1894 he matriculated at the university of Amsterdam, where he took his doctorate in 1904 (with honors) under Van der Waals, on a dissertation entitled Isothermen van mengsels van zuurstof en koolzuur (an elaboration of the 1903 gold-prize winning answer to a prize question issued by the Leiden faculty of Mathematics and Physics).
In 1900, Keesom had become an assistant to Kamerlingh Onnes at the Physics Laboratory at the university of Leiden. In 1904 he married Anna Maria Aleida Moorman, and the couple had two sons and six daughters. Although Keesom was promoted to conservator in 1909, his salary was not sufficient to provide for his rapidly growing family, and he therefore taught part-time at several secondary schools and gave lecture courses at the University of Utrecht. During this first Leiden period, Keesom published about 40 papers, a number of which were co-authored with Kamerlingh Onnes, who relied heavily on Keesom's theoretical abilities, especially in studies leading up to the liquefaction of helium in 1908. In his Nobel Lecture, Kamerlingh Onnes wrote: 'Den hervorragenden theoretischen Kenntnissen von Herm Keesom verdanke ich weiter viel wegender gründlichen und einsichtsvollen Weise, in welcher er die mit der Zustandgleichung zusammenhängenden theoretischen Fragen deren gleichzeitiges Stadium ihm vorwiegend zu Teil fiel, bearbeitet habe'.
Although by this time Keesom had established himself at home as well as abroad as a brilliant theoretical physicist, upon the retirement of Lorentz he was passed over for the chair of theoretical physics, which was awarded to Paul Ehrenfest. He was passed over as well for several other chairs, and there is little doubt that his Catholicism was the cause. In 1917 he accepted an appointment at the National Veterinary School at Utrecht, and when that school achieved university-level status, the following year, Keesom became professor of physics. He finally returned to the university of Leiden in 1923, when upon the death of Kuenen he was appointed to the chair of physics. The following year, upon the retirement of Kamerlingh Onnes, Keesom became co-director of thephysics laboratorium with De Haas. Over the next two decades, he produced over 200 scientific papers with a number of co-workers. He used increased pressure to solidify helium and by 1932 had cooled helium to 0.7° K. In 1927 he discovered with M. Wolfke, that there is a change in the form of liquid helium at 2.19 °K, and in 1936, with his daughter P. Keesom, he discovered the then called 'warm superconductivity' (superfluidity) of one of these. he investigated the caloric properties of superconducting metals and the structure and properties of liquid and solid helium, neon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, etc. In 1940, work at the laboratory ground to a halt. Keesom retired in 1945 for health reasons.
Keesom was active in the profession. He was chairman of the Institut International du Froid, chaired the 1936 Cold Congress in The Hague, and served as president of the Nederlandsche Vereeniging voor Koeltechniek for many years. Because up to World War II his laboratory was the leading site for cryogenic research in the world, many foreign scientists came to work there. Keesom gave his weekly seminars in German or English when necessary.
Keesom remained a devout Catholic his entire life, even though in the first decades of this century this was definitely not a help for one trying to make a career in science. Shortly after the turn of the century, he became active in the Vereeniging tot het Bevorderen van de Beoefening van de Wetenschap onder de Katholieken in Nederland (Society for the Promotion of the Practice of Science among Catholics in the Netherlands) and personally encouraged Catholics to pursue a career in science. 1936 Keesom was among the first group of appointees in the new Pontifical Academy of Exact Sciences.
He died in Leiden on 3 March 1956. He was survived by his second wife, Seraphina Josephina Francisca Maria Gieliam, whom he had married in 1927, four years after the death of his first wife.
