Graham's two most known contributions are his studies on the diffusion of gases, known as "Graham's Law". His discovery of the medical method known as dialysis, which is used in many medical faculties today, was the result of some of Graham's study of colloids. This study resulted in his ability to separate colloids and crystalloids using a so-called "dialyzer", the precursor of today's dialysis machine. This study of colloids initiated the scientific branch of research known as colloidal chemistry, of which Graham is credited as the founder. Graham's Law states: "The r ...
