TLDR
In this paper, the spectral distribution curve of temperature radiation was shown to be similar to the velocity distribution of the electromagnetic spectrum of a single photon, and the formal similarity of spectral distribution curves to Maxwell's velocity distribution curve was revealed.Abstract:
The formal similarity of the spectral distribution curve of temperature radiation to Maxwell’s velocity distribution curve is too striking to have remained hidden very long.read more

On the quantum properties of indistinguishable classical particles
TL;DR: In this article, the interrelation between indistinguishability and indeterminism is discussed, and it is shown that systems of indistinguishable classical particles exhibit phenomena which usually are attributed to quantum systems only.

TL;DR: In this article, an outline of the distinguishing characteristics of polyatomic molecule electronic excitation, including internal conversion, intersystem crossing, spin-orbitally-determined transitions, and orbital character of excited state configurations, with the resultant effects on fluorescence quantum efficiency is presented.

History of lasers in dermatology.
TL;DR: In the 1950s, based on the theory of stimulating radiant energy published by Albert Einstein in 1916, the collaboration of physicists and electrical engineers, searching for monochromatic radiation to study the spectra of molecules, led to the invention of the first laser in 1960.
