Walther Nernst, a German physicist and physical chemist, made significant contributions to thermodynamics, physical chemistry, electrochemistry, and solid-state physics. His work on the Nernst heat theorem was foundational for the third law of thermodynamics and led to him being awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1920. Nernst also created the influential Nernst equation in 1887. He pursued his academic career at prestigious universities, earning his doctorate in 1887 and completing his habilitation at the University of Leipzig in 1889.
