Heike Kamerlingh-Onnes
Heike Kamerlingh-Onnes (1853 - 1916) received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1913 for his investigations on the properties of matter at low temperatures which led to the production of liquid helium.
Hans Albrecht Bethe
Hans Albrecht Bethe (1906 - ) work led to the discovery of the reactions which supply the energy in the stars. The most important nuclear reaction in the brilliant stars is the carbon-nitrogen ...
Dennis Gabor
Dennis Gabor (1900 - 1971) work led to the development of a number of devices including: a holographic microscope, an analogue computer, a flat thin colour television tube, and a new type of ...
Michael Faraday
Michael Faraday's (1791-1867) scientific work laid the foundations of all subsequent electrical technology. From his experiments came devices which led directly to the modern electric motor, ...
Maurice Wilkins
Maurice Wilkins (1916 - ) work focused on the X-ray diffraction studies of DNA. The discovery of the well-defined patterns led to the discovery of the molecular structure of DNA. Further X-ray ...
People and Discoveries
What's the story behind electroshock therapy? Who's responsible for increasing the size of the Universe? What laboratory mishap led to the saving of countless lives? The answers to these questions, ...
Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz
Hermann Ludwig Ferdinand von Helmholtz (1811 - 1894) showed that the assumption that work could not continually be produced from nothing led to the conservation of kinetic energy. He also argued that ...
