photosynthesis
In Jan I., Joseph Priestley, who later defined the process of photosynthesis. It was a discovery that made people all over the world aware of how plants were restoring the balance by converting carbon dioxide into oxygen. -
oxygen

big bang theory
Michael Faraday discovered that when a wire carrying an electric current is placed next to a single magnetic pole, the wire will rotate. This led the development of the electric motor -
penicillin
Sir Alexander Fleming was researching a strain of bacteria called staphylococci. He noticed that one of the glass culture dishes he had accidentally left out had become contaminated with a fungus, and so threw it away. It wasn’t until later that he noticed that the staphylococcus bacteria seemed unable to grow in the area surrounding the fungal mould. -
