Excerpt from The Corpuscular Theory of Matter This book is an expansion of a course of lectures given at the Royal Institution in the Spring of 1906. It contains a description of the properties of corpuscles and their application to the explanation of some physical phenomena. In the earlier chapters a considerable amount of attention is devoted to the consideration of the theory that many other properties of metals are due to the motion of corpuscles diffused throughout the metal. This theory has received strong support from the investigations of Drude and Lorentz; the former has shown that the theory gives an approximately correct value for the ratio of the thermal and electrical conductivities of pure metals and the latter that it accounts for the long-wave radiation from hot bodies. I give reasons for thinking that the theory in its usual form requires the presence of so many corpuscles that their specific heat would exceed the actual specific heat of the metal. I have proposed a modification of the theory which is not open to this objection and which makes the ratio of the conductivities and the long-wave radiation of the right magnitude. The later chapters contain a discussion of the properties of an atom built up of corpuscles and of positive electricity, the positive electricity being supposed to occupy a much larger volume than the corpuscles. The properties of an atom of this kind are shown to resemble in many respects those of the atoms of the chemical elements.

It is stated in the preface that this book is an expansion of the series of lectures delivered at the Royal Institution in the spring of 1906. The book consists of seven chapters which deal respectively with the origin and properties of corpuscles, the two different corpuscular theories of metallic conduction, and in the number and arrangement of corpuscles in the atom. In the first chapter corpuscles in vacuum tubes are considered, and 'evidence is given showing that the corpuscles act as carriers of electricity, and that a positively electrified body owes its positive electrification to a defect of corpuscles. Also a positive charge is always associated with a mass comparable to that of the hydrogen or helium atom, whereas the corpuscles appear always to have the same mass, viz., that of about 1/1700 the atom of hydrogen. As is well known, the positive ions are given off by radium, and constitute the "X" rays. These have been examined by Rutherford and others, and the ratios of -- e/m measured. The second chapter deals with the origin of the corpuscle, and here all the arguments are carefully set forth, and these tend to show that its mass is wholly electrical in origin. The evidence for the existence of corpuscles afforded by the Zeeman effect is discussed in a most luminous manner. The chapters of most interest to electrical engineers are IV and V, in which the two theories of metallic conduction of electricity are most carefully explained. These are very interesting indeed, and the mathematics used is not too heavy. The first of these theories assumes that the corpuscles are in temperature equilibrium with their surroundings, and that the "drift" of the corpuscles which constitutes the electric current, is started and maintained by the direct action of the electric field which acts on them. From considerations of the expressions derived for the conductivity of a substance, a rough estimate of the number of the corpuscles in a cubic centimetre of silver is arrived at, and the number is shown to be of the same order as the number of atoms in that volume. Again, the comparison between the ratio of the thermal to the electric conductivities gives a fairly close approximation to the results of experiment. -- The Electrical Review, Volume 61 [1907]

In Elements, Principles and Particles, Antonio Clericuzio explores the relationships between chemistry and corpuscular philosophy in the age of the Scientific Revolution. Science historians have regarded chemistry and corpuscular philosophy as two distinct traditions. Clericuzio's view is that since the beginning of the 17th century atomism and chemistry were strictly connected. This is attested by Daniel Sennert and by many hitherto little-known French and English natural philosophers. They often combined a corpuscular theory of matter with Paracelsian chemical (and medical) doctrines. Boyle plays a central part in the present book: Clericuzio redefines Boyle's chemical views, by showing that Boyle did not subordinate chemistry to the principles of mechanical philosophy. When Boyle explained chemical phenomena, he had recourse to corpuscles endowed with chemical, not mechanical, properties. The combination of chemistry and corpuscular philosophy was adopted by a number of chemists active in the last decades of the 17th century, both in England and on the Continent. Using a large number of primary sources, the author challenges the standard view of the corpuscular theory of matter as identical with the mechanical philosophy. He points out that different versions of the corpuscular philosophy flourished in the 17th century. Most of them were not based on the mechanical theory, i.e. on the view that matter is inert and has only mechanical properties. Throughout the 17th century, active principles, as well as chemical properties, are attributed to corpuscles. Given its broad coverage, the book is a significant contribution to both history of science and history of philosophy.

Quantum biology is a wide area of research closely connected with almost all parts of biology. It is based on experimental data of biological sciences and the fundamental laws of physics (de Broglie law of corpuscular-wave dualism of the matter, the conservation laws, including the laws of thermodynamics). At this time, our knowledge in this area is fragmentary. The usual corpuscular biology studies only one plane of living matter organisation, the structure and function of which is determined by the DNA-particle. That is why the theory often does not agree with experience, the physics laws dont work. It leads to frequent changes of concepts. Many phenomena (division of living matter into cells, restoration and loss of totipotency of cell systems, etc.) do not find an explanation within the corpuscular theory framework. This book includes nine chapters.In Chapter 1 the insight of a cell as a quantum-mechanical system, an equilibrium system, an open and closed system; the notion of biological harmonic oscillator, as an elementary and indivisible unity of the wave properties of a living matter; the principle and regimes of oscillator work in plants; two internal energy sources and their physical nature; the role of DNA-particles and DNA-wave at different hierarchical levels of living matter organisation are discussed. In Chapter 2 the changes of DNA particles, DNA-waves, the cell physical state, its basic components and physiological functions are analysed during cell cycle of proliferating plant cell. In Chapter 3 seven types of cell division (mitosis, differentiative mitosis, free-nucleus mitosis, meiosis, endomitosis, crushing and promitosis) are described. The dependence of the principle of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell development from its condition is shown in Chapter 4. In Chapter 5 physical models of gamete sexual differentiation and fertilisation are considered. The manifestation of the low of total impulse conservation in evolution processes is examined in Chapter 6.In Chapter 7 the mechanisms and manners of biological protection and the reasons for their change during evolution are discussed. How and why a DNA-particle and a DNA-wave change during reproductive development of future plant initial cells is described on Pinus sylvestris L. example in Chapter 8. In Chapter 9 a short overview of quantum biology tasks and problems is given.
