1. helmholtz

   Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz (31 August 1821 – 8 September 1894) was a German physicist and physician who made significant contributions in several scientific fields, particularly hydrodynamic stability. The Helmholtz Association, the largest German association of research institutions, is named in his honor.In the fields of physiology and psychology, Helmholtz is known for his mathematics concerning the eye, theories of vision, ideas on the visual perception of space, color vision research, the sensation of tone, perceptions of sound, and empiricism in the physiology of perception. In physics, he is known for his theories on the conservation of energy, work in electrodynamics, chemical thermodynamics, and on a mechanical foundation of thermodynamics. As a philosopher, he is known for his philosophy of science, ideas on the relation between the laws of perception and the laws of nature, the science of aesthetics, and ideas on the civilizing power of science.

1. helmholtz

   Helmholtz usually refers to Hermann von Helmholtz, a renowned German physician and physicist. However, in various scientific contexts, the term could signify: 1. Helmholtz Theorem: A theorem in electromagnetism that breaks down arbitrary vector fields into divergence-free and curl-free components. 2. Helmholtz Resonance or Helmholtz Resonator: An acoustic resonance effect named after Hermann von Helmholtz, used to describe the 'air spring' phenomenon in gas column vibrations, such as those in a bottle when one blows across the top, or in the body of a stringed instrument. 3. Helmholtz Energy: A thermodynamic potential used to calculate the amount of reversible work that may be performed by a thermodynamic system at a constant temperature and volume. 4. Helmholtz Equation: It is a partial differential equation named after Hermann von Helmholtz, which appears in various areas of physics notably in the study of electromagnetic, acoustic, and fluid dynamics phenomena. 5. Helmholtz Coil: A device for producing a region of nearly uniform magnetic field named after Hermann von Helmholtz. 6. Helmholtz Association of German Research Centres: The largest scientific organization in Germany, named in honor of Herman von Helmholtz. The specific meaning of "Helmholtz" will depend on its contextual use in a conversation or text.

1. Helmholtz

   Helmholtz is a lunar impact crater that is located near the south-southeast limb of the Moon. Attached to the south-southeast rim of Helmholtz is the somewhat smaller crater Neumayer. The larger crater Boussingault is nearly attached to the west-southwestern rim. The outer rim of Helmholtz is worn and rounded, although not significantly disrupted. The edge of the rim can still be discerned around the perimeter, although several small craters lie along the inner edge. One such crater lies across the inner southeast wall, and a pair occupies the opposite inner wall to the northeast. There are also a couple of smaller craterlets just inside the north rim. The northern half of the interior floor is level and marked only by a few very tiny craterlets. The southern floor is more irregular due to the overlaying ejecta from Neumayer and Boussingault, and is marked by a pair of tiny craters in the southeast. There is no central peak.
