Heinz London (Bonn, Germany 1907-1970) was a German Physicist. He worked with his brother Fritz on superconductivity, discovering the London equations[1] when working in Oxford, at the Clarendon Laboratory; these equations gave a first explanation to the Meissner effect (and, so, to the properties of superconductors). He is known as well for being the inventor of the dilution refrigerator, a cryogenic device that uses liquid helium.
After studying in different German universities, he had to flee to England in 1933 along with his brother due to the Nazi racial laws.
