"Ses recherches touchent au développement de la théorie quantique en France. Privilégiant un dialogue constant entre l’histoire des sciences et l’histoire des textes, elle a découvert et analysé plusieurs manuscrits inédits de physiciens et mathématiciens français du début du XXe siècle. En 2020, elle a édité un cahier de notes d’Émile Borel sur un cours de Paul Langevin au Collège de France”.
La découverte de ces manuscrits inédits avait déjà attiré l’attention de la Commission Littéraire et Technique du Centre National du Livre qui avait attribué à Martha Cecila Bustamante la Bourse de la Découverte, le 6 juin 2001.
"The Paul Doistau-Émile Blutet Prize for Scientific Information is awarded to Martha Cecilia Bustamante, science historian, specialized in the history of physics, within the SPHERE laboratory (CNRS / University of Paris / University of Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne).
"Her research concerns the development of quantum theory in France. Favoring a constant dialogue between the history of science and the history of texts, she discovered and analyzed several unpublished manuscripts by French physicists and mathematicians from the beginning of the 20th century. 2020, she edited a notebook by Émile Borel on a course by Paul Langevin at the Collège de France ”.
The discovery of these unpublished manuscripts drew the attention of the Literary and Technical Commission of Centre National du Livre which attributed to Martha Cecila Bustamante the Bourse de la Découverte, June 6, 2001.
