Van der Waals, Johannes Diederik
- Van der Waals, Johannes Diederik
(23 nov. 1837, Leiden, Holanda–9 mar. 1923, Amsterdam).
Físico holandés. Como profesor en la Universidad de Amsterdam (1877–1907), extendió la clásica ley de los gases ideales (ver leyes de los gases) para describir mejor el comportamiento de los gases reales, deduciendo la
ecuación de estado de Van der Waals en 1881. Su trabajo condujo a la licuefacción de varios gases comunes e hizo posible el estudio de temperaturas cercanas al cero absoluto. Las fuerzas de Van der Waals recibieron dicho nombre en su honor. Recibió un Premio Nobel en 1910.
