His experimenting resulted in a high-vacuum transmitting tube, the heart of modern radio broadcasting.* Further work with gas and heat brought about the atomic hydrogen welding arc, which welds and fuses dissimilar metals...
...Practical Side. Dr. Langmuir experimented in the field of surface chemistry (the arrangement and orientation of molecules at the surface of objects), but what he did appeared at first to be an exercise in pure science. Later, his monomolecular findings contributed to the development of "invisible" glass, and proved helpful in the analysis of certain protein-like compounds...
