| description | Jean Darcet (1724-1801) is another of the famous French scientists
that devoted his life to teaching, to science, and to the development of the national
industry at the critical time of the Revolution. His well-known memoir
on the behavior of minerals under high heat led to a better classification of
them and to his discovery of the method for making true porcelain from native
raw materials, a finding that made France independent of external sources and
transformed Sévres into a world-famous ceramic industry. He discovered the
alloy that carries his name, a material that found many industrial uses, even in
our time. |
