Discoveries

  1. Developed a model of the atom. Discovered that electrons travel in separate orbits around the nucleus. The chemical element bohrium (Bh) is named for him.
  2. Discovered hydrogen (H) and discovered the composition of water.
  1. Helped create the scientific method. Developed a law which describes the relationship between pressure and volume within a gas
  1. Discovered the molecular structure of DNA with James Watson in 1951
  1. Discovered radium, polonium, and studied radioactivity. Became the first person to be awarded two Nobel Prizes. Brought up in Poland before eventually moving to France.
  1. An X-ray crystallographer, who helped the world understand the molecular structures of DNA, RNA, viruses, coal, and graphite.
  2. Crystallography: Mapping atoms by looking at the image of a crystal under an X-ray beam
  1. Discovered an inexpensive method for the production of aluminum, which brought the metal into wide commercial use in 1889.
  1. Invented the periodic table; a way for ordering elements based on their properties.
  1. Discovered the electron
  1. Discovered dynamite and created over 350 other inventions. Started the Nobel Prize. Nobelium is named after him.
  1. Won the Nobel Prize in 1938 for his work in radioactivity. Built the first nuclear reactor.
  1. “The father of the atomic bomb”.American nuclear physicist and director of the Los Alamos Laboratory (Manhattan Project).Inventor of the atomic bomb.
  1. Discoverd argon, krypton, neon and xenon. He also demonstrated that these gases, along with helium and radon, makes the noble gases; a family of new elements. Ramsay won the 1904 Nobel Prize in Chemistry
  1. Discovered Nitrogen in 1772
