Felix Ehrenhaft (There was an error working with the wiki: Code[3] physicist known for his maverick style and controversy. His fearless There was an error working with the wiki: Code[14] was greatly admired by There was an error working with the wiki: Code[15] There was an error working with the wiki: Code[16].
Ehrenhaft was born in There was an error working with the wiki: Code[4] industrialist. Ehrenhaft earned his doctorate from the There was an error working with the wiki: Code[5] properties of There was an error working with the wiki: Code[6] There was an error working with the wiki: Code[17]s. He subsequently became assistant to There was an error working with the wiki: Code[18].
In There was an error working with the wiki: Code[19], the reality of Atoms was still disputed but There was an error working with the wiki: Code[20] and There was an error working with the wiki: Code[21] had both recently given accounts of There was an error working with the wiki: Code[22] in There was an error working with the wiki: Code[23]s, strongly supporting the Atomic theory. Though There was an error working with the wiki: Code[24] had made important demonstrations of There was an error working with the wiki: Code[22] in There was an error working with the wiki: Code[26]s, Ehrenhaft extended the work to make observations of particles of There was an error working with the wiki: Code[27] in There was an error working with the wiki: Code[28]. The greater There was an error working with the wiki: Code[29] of There was an error working with the wiki: Code[28] made for a sterner test of the reality of Atoms. Ehrenhaft was awarded the There was an error working with the wiki: Code[31] of the There was an error working with the wiki: Code[32] for his work.
Ehrenhaft adapted his apparatus to measure the There was an error working with the wiki: Code[7] being passed over for the There was an error working with the wiki: Code[8]'s results but even as late as There was an error working with the wiki: Code[33], There was an error working with the wiki: Code[34] wrote:

Even while controversy raged on sub-electronic charges, Ehrenhaft made important and substantial contributions to There was an error working with the wiki: Code[9] in There was an error working with the wiki: Code[10] where he became a citizen.
From the mid-There was an error working with the wiki: Code[11], usually of ultra-microscopic particles near the limits of There was an error working with the wiki: Code[12] and multifactorial There was an error working with the wiki: Code[35]s.
From the There was an error working with the wiki: Code[13]. In There was an error working with the wiki: Code[36], returned to the There was an error working with the wiki: Code[37] where he held again his old position until his death. A big part of his discoveries he worked out at this short time. He became increasingly certain that he had observed There was an error working with the wiki: Code[38]s magnetic currents and magnetolysis, the disassociation of liquids by There was an error working with the wiki: Code[39]s rather than Electric current as in Electrolysis
A final review of his life work can be found in the German scientific journal "Acta physica Austriaca" of 1952.
