Erste Ausgabe. - "In November 1876, Crookes introduced into his work on the molecular physics of high vacua Faraday's beautiful concept of a fourth state of matter, 'radiant matter.' Lines of molecular pressure were now interpreted as streams of radiant matter in a highly tenuous condition; collisions between molecules were so rare that the familiar physical properties of the gaseous state of matter were modified" (DSB). - Exlibris.
