It subsequently developed into the largest research center worldwide as a place where scientists could concentrate exclusively on their research subject, and served as a model for similar institutes established in other countries.Within a very short time, the PTR produced extremely important scientific results that cemented its international position at the top, such as Max Planck's radiation law and energy qPhysical laboratoriesGermanyBerlinHistoryPhysicsResearchGermanyBerlinHistoryElectronic books.Physical laboratoriesHistory.PhysicsResearchHistory.530.0943Huebener R.
