Experimentally confirmed (1906) the theory of Brownian motion developed by A. Einstein and M. Smolukhovsky . Created an ultracentrifugation method for separating colloidal particles from a solution, built the first ultracentrifuges . He made a great contribution to the development of the physical chemistry of proteins .
In honor of him, the unit of measurement of the ratio of the rate of sedimentation to centrifugal acceleration - Sedberg - is used in sedimentation analysis . 1 svberg = 10 −13 sec. It is indicated by a capital Latin letter S (example: protein 7S).
