He investigated the properties of very short radio waves, wireless telegraphy and radiation-induced fatigue in inorganic materials.

His invention of highly sensitive instruments for the detection of minute responses by living organisms to external stimuli enabled him to anticipate the parallelism between animal and plant tissues noted by later bio-physicists.รก |
