Heike Kamerlingh Onnes (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈɦɛikə ˈkaːmərlɪŋ ˈɔnəs]; 21 September 1853 – 21 February 1926) was a Dutch physicist and Nobel laureate. He exploited the Hampson–Linde cycle to investigate how materials behave when cooled to nearly absolute zero and later to liquefy helium for the first time, in 1908.
Heike Kamerlingh Onnes was a Dutch physicist who pioneered the study of matter at low temperatures. He liquefied helium, discovered superconductivity, and received the Nobel Prize for his contributions to physics.
