Heike Kamerlingh Onnes (1853-1926) was the oldest son of a Groningen manufacturer of bricks and roofing tiles.
While still a student in Groningen, Onnes, whose talents spanned both the experimental and theoretical fields, began to immerse himself in molecular theory as soon as Van der Waals' pioneering doctoral thesis on the equation of state and the continuity of the gaseous and liquid states was published in 1873.
Onnes looked after his staff well and, when the occasion demanded, visited the families of his staff and technicians, but his own concerns were paramount.

The history of superconductivity, whom Heike Kamerlingh Onnes in his research of metallic low temperature phenomenon characterised by no electrical resistance and which became known as superconductivity, starts at the end of the 1800s.
Onnes, with assistants at his facility, began the investigations with platinum and gold, replacing these later with mercury (a more readily refineable material).
Onnes research of the resistivity of solid mercury at cryogenic temperatures was accomplished by using the Onnes own process of attaining liquid helium as a refrigerant.
