PORTAL OF EXPERTISE FOR VACUUM TECHNOLOGY

SPEAK TO A SPECIALIST

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
ABOUT VACUUM SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Vacuum Science World is a centralised educational and information portal for all things relating to vacuum science, and a global community for those interested in or working in the vacuum technology industry.

This website provides a platform for researchers, engineers, scientists and students to collaborate, network and share knowledge on vacuum science and technology.

Vacuum Science World has a repository of in-depth, high-quality content on vacuum technology – including thought leadership, articles and interviews, ranging from vacuum science and related applications, vacuum physics, vacuum generation, measurement and analysis to leak detection, practical information around vacuum systems and its installation, operation, control and maintenance.

Contributions, particularly from experts in the field, are welcome. New content will regularly be added to the Vacuum Science World Knowledge Hub which can be accessed here.

HEROES OF VACUUM SCIENCE

Manne Siegbahn

Siegbahn was a Swedish physicist who won the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1924 for his discoveries and research in the field of X-ray spectroscopy. He was responsible for the development of the Siegbahn Pump.

HEROES OF VACUUM SCIENCE

Evangelista Torricelli

Torricelli was a student Galileo and developed the first mercury filled glass tube known as the ‘Barometer’. He is also known for writing ‘Torricelli’s Law’ which centred on speed of a fluid flowing out of an opening.

HEROES OF VACUUM SCIENCE

Wolfgang Gaede

At the beginning of the 20th century, Wolfgang Gaede discovered several innovative vacuum principles while inventing vacuum pumps that are still common today: the rotary vane pump, the diffusion pump, the gas ballast, and the molecular pump.

HEROES OF VACUUM SCIENCE

Fernand Holweck

French scientist Holweck made a significant impact on a range of activities such as x-rays, the gravimetric pendulum, electrons and the Holweck molecular vacuum pump which achieved vacuum levels of 10-6 mbar.

HEROES OF VACUUM SCIENCE

Pieter Clausing

Clausing worked on a range of activities relating to vacuum physics such as the diffuse reflection of molecules from surfaces and the ‘beaming’ effect associated with molecules exiting tubes.
