He was also known for inventing the air track system, a scientific device used to study motion in a low friction environment.
Stull graduated magna cum laude in 1952 and then received a PhD from Alfred University in ceramic engineering.
He was only the second university student to receive a PhD in ceramic engineering at the time.
In 1963, Stull invented the Stull-Ealing linear air track, a low-friction device used in physics instruction which has been marketed worldwide.
Following his retirement in 1992, Stull continued active work at Alfred University.
