EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a remarkable piece of scientific history - the Piezoelectric quartz apparatus, designed by Pierre (1859-1906) and Jacques Curie in 1897. The apparatus is showcased against a dark backdrop, allowing its intricate details to shine through. The device itself is an embodiment of innovation and discovery. It represents the groundbreaking concept of piezo-electricity, where crystals under pressure produce electric currents. This invention revolutionized the field of electricity measurement and opened up new possibilities for scientific exploration. With its delicate wires, precisely arranged crystals, and elegant design, this apparatus exudes both beauty and functionality. Its purpose as a quadrant electrometer or measuring device becomes apparent upon closer inspection. Each element has been carefully crafted to ensure accurate readings and reliable results. This photograph transports us back to the late 19th century when scientific progress was at its peak. It serves as a testament to the brilliance of Pierre and Jacques Curie's work, showcasing their dedication to advancing our understanding of electricity. Displayed proudly in the Institut de Radium in Paris, France, this print not only preserves an important piece of scientific history but also invites us to marvel at human ingenuity. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded that even centuries-old inventions continue to inspire awe with their timeless elegance and profound impact on our world.
