1917 Jrnl. Chem. Soc. 112 ii. 166 Alongside the science of stereochemistry is developing a stereophysics, and these, together with the study of crystal structure, form a new branch of science, which the author terms ‘Feinbaulehre der Materie’ (the study of the ultimate structure of matter), or Leptonology.
