Jacques-Louis Soret Life story


Jacques-Louis Soret was a Swiss chemist who in 1878, along with Marc Delafontaine, first observed holmium spectroscopically. Independently, Per Teodor Cleve separated it chemically from thulium and erbium in 1879. The three are given credit for the element's discovery.
