About me

Joel M Williams
with MCAS model of Water in its Delta State (red volume is void)

I am a retired material scientist/chemist from the Los Alamos National Laboratory, living with my wife in Los Alamos, NM, USA. I have spent a number of years creating materials for the physicists at the laboratory, working on remediating hazardous wastes, several years in texile fibers technical problems, and a variety of miscellaneous ventures with NASA.

I have a B.S. degree in Chemistry from the College of William and Mary and a Ph.D. degree in Chemistry from Northwestern University. I am a life-time member of Sigma Xi.

I have authored or coauthered 80 citable papers on over a dozen major topic areas and a number of miscellaneous topics. See Publications for complete, detailed list.

My website is [1]. The Fourth State of Matter is the Delta State at the Critical Point [2]. The MCAS structure of atoms demonstrates that classical physics provides the proper electron and proton interactions without waving e-e repulsions as done for the orbitals and bonds in current models [3]

I joined Citizendium in February 2011 as an author and editor.

Some of my favorite quotes

  • "One of the greatest pains to human nature is the pain of a new idea", W. Bagehot
  • "New opinions are always suspect, and usually opposed, without any other reason but because they are not already common", J Locks
