Isaac Newton
Sir Isaac Newton (25 December 1642 – 20 March 1727) was an English Physicist and Mathematician who is widely regarded as one of the most influential scientists of all time and Is a key figure in the Scientific Revolution.Born at Woolsthorpe, near Grantham in Lincolnshire, where he attended school, entered Cambridge University in 1661; he was elected a Fellow of Trinity College in 1667, and Lucasian Professor of Mathematics in 1669. -
Henry Mosely
Henry Mosely (1887–1915): a British chemist, Henry Mosely studied under Rutherford and brilliantly developed the application of X-ray spectra to study atomic structure; Mosely’s discoveries resulted in a more accurate positioning of elements in the Periodic Table by closer determination of Atomic numbers. Sadly, due to his research and who he had gotten involved with, he was killed in action at Gallipoli in 1915. -
Antoine Lavosier
Antoine Laurent de Lavosier was a French nobleman prominent in the histories of chemistry and biology. He had named both Oxygen and Hydrogen and predicted Silicon.He helped comprise the metric system, put together the first extensive list of elements, and helped to reform chemical nomenclature. -
Michael Faraday
Michael Faraday, was an English Scientist who contributed to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. His main discoveries include those of Electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism and electrolysis. -
Julius Plucker
Germany, June 16 1801 – Germany, 22 may 1868Julius’s main field of all of the sciences were Mathematics and physics. Plucker was educated primarily in Germany; throughout his life he drew much on French and English science. He was essentially a geometer but decided many years of his life to physical science. -
John Dalton
John Dalton was an extremely diverse scientist experienced in many field of science, he contributed to studies of Colour Blindness and also a large portion of the Atomic theory. -
George Johnstone Stoney
George Johnstone Stoney (15th February 1826 – 5th July 1911_ was an Anglo-Irish physicist. He was most famous for bringing the term Electron as the “fundamental unit quantity of electricity”. He had introduced the concept, though not the word, as early as 1874 and 1881. And the word came in 1891. He published around 75 scientific papers during his lifetime. -
Francis William Aston
Francis William Aston (1st September 1877 – 20th November 1945) was a British chemist and physicist who won the 1922 Nobel prize in Chemistry for his discovery, by means of his mass spectrograph, of isotopes, in a large number of non-radioactive elements, and for his enunciation of the whole number rule. He was a fellow of the royal society and fellow of trinity college, Cambridge. -
Marie Curie
Marie Curie, often referred to as Marie Curie of Madame Curie was a Polish Physicist and Chemist, working mainly in France, who is famous for her pioneering research on Radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, the only woman in two fields, and the only person to win in Multiple Sciences. -
Henri Becquerel
Being a member of Scholars and scientists, Becquerel naturally followed in his ancestors footsteps. His early work started with Becquerel working on Plane-polarised light, the phenomenon of phosphorescence and the absorption of light by crystals.while studying this he discovered some chemicals suddenly degrade and give off piercing rays. -
J.J. Thompson
Joseph John Thomson was born in Cheetham Hill, a suburb of Manchester on December 18, 1856Thomson’s early interest in atomic structure was reflected in his Treatise on The motion if Vortex Rings which won him the Adams Prize in 1884.Thomson used a CRT to experimentally determine the charge to mass ration (e/m) of an electron =1.759 x 10 8 columbs/gram -
Max Planck
Max Karl Ernst Ludwig Placnk, was borin in Kiel, Germany on Arpil 23.His father was Professor of Constitutional Law in The University of Keil, and later in Gottingen.Planck’s earliest work was on the topic of Thermodynamics, an interest he acquired from his studies under Kirchoff.Placnk used the notion of Quanta to explain in greater detail, hot glowing matter. -
Enrico Fermi
Enrico Fermi (29th September 1901 – 28th November 1954) was an Italian theoretical and experimental physicist, best known for his work on the building up of Chicago Pile-1, the first Nuclear reactor, and for his contributions to the development of quantum theory, nuclear and particle physics, and statistical mechanics. Along with Robert Oppenheimer, he is referred to as “the father of the atomic bomb”. -
Robert Millikan
Robert A. Millikan was an American Experimental physicist, and Nobel Laureate in physics on his measurement of the charge on the electro and for his work on the Photoelectric effect. -
Leucippus
Leucippus said to his pupils that the world and everything in and out of it were made up of small, unseeable things that you were unable to divide called atoms.which was later described in greater detail by one of his students, Democritus. -
Democritus
Democritus had thought that all everything we know of was made up of things smaller than what any telescope could envisage.And that the way that these particles would interact and their properties would change depending on whether they were smooth, round, rough etc.and also that matter made of smooth units formed liquids, and madder made of rough units would stick together and form metals and other solids. He was an Influential pre-Socratic philosopher and pupil of Lecippus, who formulated an
