In 1752-56, Lomonosov wrote and lectured on a new science, which he named “physical chemistry” and identified as the primary science for studying the structure of matter.»

Other scientists defined the modern term enthalpy later. The thermodynamic potential (enthalpy) was defined by the Dutch physicist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes (1853-1926) in the early 20th century.»
