Weiss also developed the molecular or mean field theory, which is often called Weiss-mean-field theory, that lead to the discovery of the Curie-Weiss law. Alongside Auguste Picard, Pierre Weiss is considered one of the first discoverers of the magnetocaloric effect in 1917. Pierre Weiss made several experimental discoveries that led to the development of the strongest electromagnets of the beginning of the 20th century. Pic.
