Mr. Langsdorf earned an undergraduate degree from Washington University in 1932. He earned a doctorate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1937. As a young scientist at MIT, he invented the Continuous Cloud Chamber for the study of cosmic rays. It was a way of visualizing the paths of protons and electrons, the elementary particles of nature.

The particles cannot be seen, but Mr. Langsdorf showed how their paths could be. "He worked it all out by himself; it was extremely important," said Robert Wilson, the first director of the Fermi Laboratory, who worked with Mr. Langsdorf at MIT. Mr.

Langsdorf spent a year at Harwell, England, working with the British Atomic Energy Establishment. He was a visiting professor and consultant at Tokoku University, Sendai, Japan. He also was an editor of the Journal of Applied Physics Letters. In 1942, while in St. Louis, Mr.

Mr. Langsdorf joined scientist Enrico Fermi in Chicago for research in neutron physics. He remained in Chicago when the Argonne National Laboratory was formed and was on its staff until his retirement in 1977.
