“Will fluorine ever have practical applications? It is very difficult to answer this question. I may, however, say in all sincerity that I gave this subject little thought when I undertook my researches, and I believe that all the chemists whose attempts preceded mine gave it no more consideration. A scientific research is a search after truth, and it is only after discovery that the question of applicability can be usefully considered.” TruthScienceResearchDiscoveryChemistrySincerityUsefulNobel LaureatePractical ApplicationApplicabilityFluorine Author:Henri Moissan
