Why Is Lewi Tonks Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Lewi Tonks was an American quantum physicist noted for his discovery of the Tonks–Girardeau gas. Tonks was employed by General Electric for most of his working life, researching microwaves and ferromagnetism. He worked under Irving Langmuir on plasma physics, with a special interest in ball lightning, nuclear fusion, tungsten filament light bulbs, and lasers.
