In 1660 launched investigations into the elastic deformation of solids and enunciated a law on the subject. In his treatise On the Nature Air (1676) formulated the law of compressibility of gases "at room constant, the volume of a gas varies inversely with its pressure. "Mariotte also conducted studies on optics, hydrodynamics and fluid mechanics, and authored numerous articles on vision, colors, weather forecasts, the movements of fluids or collisions between bodies. In 1666 he was appointed to the French Academy of Sciences.
