This book contains a "laboratory study" which was carried out by two Austrian research insitutes of experimental physics in 1993-1995.
It focuses on the personal (tacit) knowledge of physicists, the acquisition and transfer of this knowledge and is based on theoretical concepts of Polanyi and Wittgenstein. (Only available in German.)
