First edition.
Louis de Broglie (1892-1987), Nobel laureate and a member of the Institute, played a crucial role in the development of quantum mechanics. In this work, he explores the theory of the magnetic electron proposed by Paul Dirac, one of the most important advances in 20th-century theoretical physics. Dirac's theory not only predicted the existence of antimatter but also integrated special relativity into quantum mechanics.

First french edition.
Hermann von Helmholtz (1821-1894) was a German polymath, doctor of medicine and philosophy, professor of physiology at the University of Heidelberg, and a major figure in 19th-century science. His Mémoire sur la conservation de la force (Memoir on the Conservation of Force), originally published in 1847, is a foundational text in physics, laying the groundwork for the principle of conservation of energy. This work demonstrated that various phenomena (mechanical, thermal, electrical, chemical) could be explained by a single unifying principle. This French translation by Louis Pérard made this seminal text accessible to the French-speaking public and greatly contributed to the dissemination of Helmholtz's ideas in France.
