	Charles Thomson Rees Wilson
		Wilson began studying clouds as a meteorologist in 1895.
		Wilson noted that when he used dust-free air the air remained supersaturated and that clouds did not form until the degree of supersaturation reached a certain critical point.
		From 1916 Wilson became involved in the study of lightning, and in 1925 he was appointed Jacksonian professor of natural history at the University of Cambridge.

	Wilson, Charles Thomson Rees - MSN Encarta
		Wilson invented the cloud chamber (see Particle Detectors), which gave the first pictures of the paths of subatomic particles (see Elementary Particles) and became an essential tool in the fields of atomic and meteorological physics (see Atom; Meteorology).
		Wilson was born in Glencorse in the former county of Midlothian, Scotland.
		Wilson also intensely studied electrical conduction in air and applied his findings to devising ways to protect British airships from lightning and other discharges of electricity during World War I (1914-1918).

	WILSON, Charles Thomson Rees,
		Wilson joined the faculty at Cambridge in 1900 and was Jacksonian professor of natural philosophy from 1925 until his retirement in 1934.
		Using it to study X rays, Wilson was the first to see and photograph the tracks of individual alpha- and beta-particles and electrons.
		Wilson published his final papers on cloud-chamber research in 1923, thereafter devoting himself to such atmospheric phenomena as thunderstorms.

	C.T.R. Wilson - Biography
		Charles Thomson Rees Wilson was born on the 14th of February, 1869, in the parish of Glencorse, near Edinburgh.
		Wilson's appointment as Clerk Maxwell Student, at the end of that year, enabled him to devote all his time for the next three years to research, and for a year subsequent to this he was employed by the Meteorological Council in research on atmospheric electricity.
		After his retirement Wilson moved to Edinburgh, and later, at the age of 80, to the village of Carlops, close to his birthplace at the farmhouse of Crosshouse, at Glencorse.

	Cambridge Physics - Splitting the Atom
		Wilson is most famous for his cloud chamber, a piece of apparatus described by Ernest Rutherford as "the most original and wonderful instrument in scientific history".
		Wilson continued to improve on the designs of cloud chambers until 1935, and left his original Cloud Chamber to the Museum at the Cavendish Laboratory.
		Wilson was in charge of the Third Year experimental class in the Cavendish for several years, and known for setting projects to his class which were more engaging and rewarding than the stereotyped experiments offered in other teaching laboratories at the time.

		The Scottish physicist Charles Thomson Rees Wilson (1869-1959) was the inventor and developer of the Wilson cloud chamber.
		Charles Wilson was born on Feb. 14, 1869, in Glencorse near Edinburgh.
		In the beginning of 1895 Wilson concluded that even after the removal of all dust particles, droplets still appeared whenever a volume of moist air was suddenly expanded.

		To aid his studies, Wilson had devised a way of allowing moist air to expand in a closed container, a cloud chamber that was later to prove indispensable in the study of nuclear physics and would lead to the development of the bubble chamber.
		Wilson's additional work on lightning led to a method of protecting barrage balloons (used in World War II to deflect German airplanes during their bombing runs on Britain).
		Wilson had taught Greek and rhetoric in the College of Philadelphia before studying law under the able guidance of Delaware's John Dickinson, "penman of the revolution" and delegate to the First Continental Congress.

	Wilson, Charles Thomson
		The immense increase of the "rain-like" condensation fitted excellently with the observation made by Thomson and McClelland immediately after Rontgen's discovery, that air was made conductive by the passage of X-rays.
		When, during the summer of that year, it was firmly established by Thomson and Rutherford that the conductivity was indeed due to ionization of the gas, there was no longer any doubt that ions in gases could be detected and, photographically, recorded and thus studied at leisure.
		In 1908, Professor Wilson married Jessie Fraser, daughter of Rev. G.

	The Wilson cloud chamber
		harles Thomson Rees Wilson, who was English scientist living in the years 1869-1959, constructed a special machine - the Wilson cloud chamber.
		he Wilson cloud chamber consists of the steam filled cylinder one side closed with the piston the other side- with the window.
		The fall of the piston causes the decrease of the temperature and the condensation of the steam on the ions present inside the cylinder.

		In 1895, when Professor Compton was a demure three-year-old baby at Wooster (he is now 35), Charles Thomson Rees Wilson began his serious study of electromagnetic forces.
		Professor Wilson calculated, the cur rent of electricity amounted to 20 coulombs, that is, 20 amperes per second.
