Jan or Johann Josef Loschmidt (March 15, 1821 – July 8, 1895) has joined as a historical member of the Luxuriant Flowing Hair Club for Scientists. Dr. Siegfried Peer, who nominated him, says:
He was the first to determine the number of molecules of an ideal gas in 1 cm3. This is now known as the “Loschmidt number” L = 2.687 × 1019 cm-3. The number of hair per cm2 in his luxurious flowing beard by the way is around 60.
