  • Michael Faraday

    Michael Faraday
    He invented the electric motor. In 1831, Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction, the principle behind the electric transformer and generator. This discovery was crucial in allowing electricity to be transformed from a curiosity into a powerful new technology. This helped brutally in inventing the electric motor.

    Note: The actual day and month of when the experiment took place is currently unknown. A random month and day has been put as a placeholder. All that is known is that the Gold Foil Experiment took place in 1909. Lord Ernest Rutherford is a physicist and chemist. He studied mainly atomic structure, nuclear physics, and radioactivity. He is most famous for the Gold Foil experiment.

  • Hideki Yukawa

    Hideki Yukawa
    Hideki Yukawa was concerned with the force that binds the neutrons and protons together in the nucleus. Yukawa sought to find the mechanism of the strong force and used the electromagnetic force as an analogy. He is famous for his prediction of the existence of subatomic particles called mesons (particles that have masses between those of the electron and the proton).
    The exact date of his discovery is not stated.

  • Otto Hahn: Nuclear Fission

    Otto Hahn: Nuclear Fission
    Facebook Powerpoint of Otto Hahn
    Otto Hahn discovered nuclear fission with Lise Meitner and Fritz Strassmann in 1938. Nuclear fission is a nuclear reaction in which the nucleaus of an atom splits into smaller parts. He won the 1944 Nobel Prize for Chemistry for this discovery.
  • Lise Meitner: Nuclear Fission

    Lise Meitner: Nuclear Fission
    Lise Meitner
    She discovered nuclear fission with Otto Hahn and Frits Strassmann. Nuclear fission proved that the energy that wasn't aborbed by the two positively charged parts of an atom will be released. This causes a great explosion of energy. This discovery helped create atomic bombs. Her findings led to achieving a Nobel Prize, however, it was meant for Hahn, not her. Albert Einstein proclaimed her as the "German Madame Curie.
