Planck didn't have an element named after him, but he has a
fundamental physical constant named after him, the Planck constant.
And, because it is a fundamental physical constant, it has
"spawned" a "group" of units (called Planck units) that are
interrelated because they all contain the Planck constant. The Max
Planck Institute for Developmental Biology and the Max Planck
Institute of Biological Cybernetics on the Max Planck Campus are
named after him. The Max Planck Society (Max-Planck-Gesellschaft)
operates some 80 research institutes all over Germany, (and a few
in other European countries), which usually bear the name "Max
Planck Institute (MPI) of ...". The Society does basic research in
the natural sciences, but also does work in the social sciences and
humanities. Links are provided.
