Life
Mouton began his studies at the École normal supérieure in 1889 and received his doctorate in 1902 with a dissertation on digestion in amoeba to docteur ès sciences. He was a biologist at the Pasteur Institute and from 1917 maître de conférences at the Faculté des Sciences in Paris . In 1927 he became a professor of physical chemistry there .
His most important work in 1907 was the discovery of the Cotton-Mouton effect in collaboration with Aimé Auguste Cotton (1869–1951). Mouton also translated four works by Jacques Loeb from English into French.
