Robert Boyle (NSG)

The law itself can be stated as follows: For a fixed amount of an ideal gas kept at a fixed temperature, pressure and volume are inversely proportional.[3] Or Boyle's law is a gas law, stating that the pressure and volume of a gas have an inverse relationship, when temperature is held constant. If volume increases, then pressure decreases and vice versa, when temperature is held constant. Therefore, when the volume is halved, the pressure is doubled; and if the volume is doubled, the pressure is halved.

Henry Cavendish, the discovery of hydrogen

Cavendish is noted for his discovery of hydrogen or what he called "inflammable air". He described the density of inflammable air, which formed water on combustion, in a 1766 paper "On Factitious Airs"

Davy safety lamp by Aristocats

Humphry Davy invented the lamp to be used to safely light coal mines. The gauze chimney allowed light to escape but prevented the lamp from igniting flammable gasses inside the mine.

Faraday Michael (NSG)

Discovered electromagnetic induction, the underlying modern industrial production of electricity and its many applications.

James Maxwell, Theory of the Electromagnetic Field

Maxwell demonstrated that electric and magnetic fields travel through space as waves moving at the speed of light. Maxwell proposed that light is an undulation in the same medium that is the cause of electric and magnetic phenomena.

Frederick Soddy

He explained that radioactivity is due to the transmutation of elements, now known to involve nuclear reactions. He also proved the existence of isotopes of certain radioactive elements.

Ernest Rutherford, Discovery of atomic nucleus

Rutherford carried out the Geiger–Marsden experiment, which demonstrated the nuclear nature of atoms by deflecting alpha particles passing through a thin gold foil. Rutherford was inspired to ask Geiger and Marsden in this experiment to look for alpha particles with very high deflection angles, of a type not expected from any theory of matter at that time. Such deflections, though rare, were found, and proved to be a smooth but high-order function of the deflection angle. It was Rutherford's interpretation of this data that led him to formulate the Rutherford model of the atom in 1911 – that a very small charged nucleus, containing much of the atom's mass, was orbited by low-mass electrons.Enter story info here

Sir James Chadwick, Discovery of the neutron

In February 1932, after only about two weeks of experimentation with neutrons,[16] Chadwick sent a letter to Nature titled "Possible Existence of a Neutron".[30] He communicated his findings in detail in an article sent to Proceedings of the Royal Society A titled "The Existence of a Neutron" in May. His discovery of the neutron was a milestone in understanding the nucleus.
