GREAT SCIENTISTS OF WORLD-ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL

  Alexander Graham Bell , best known for his invention of the telephone, revolutionized communication as we know it. His interest in sound technology was deep-rooted and personal, as both his wife and mother were deaf.       He came to the U.S as a teacher of the deaf, and conceived the idea of "electronic speech machine" -- his name for the first telephone .   while visiting his hearing-impaired mother in Canada. This led him to invent the microphone and later the "electrical speech machine" -- his name for the first telephone .   Graham Bell was a Scottish-born scientist and inventor best known for inventing the first working telephone in 1876 and founding the Bell Telephone Company in 1877. Bell's success came through his experiments in sound and the furthering of his family's interest in assisting the deaf with communication.   In 1892, Alexander Graham Bell made an attempt to make the first long-distance telephone call and his s...

Pasteur's contributions to science, technology, and medicine are nearly without precedent.   He   was a French chemist and microbiologist whose work changed medicine. He proved that germs cause disease; he developed vaccines for anthrax and rabies; and he created the process of pasteurization.   He is regarded as one of the three main founders of bacteriology, together with Ferdinand Cohn and Robert Koch, and is popularly known as the " father of microbiology ". Pasteur was responsible for disproving the doctrine of spontaneous generation.     Louis Pasteur is best known for inventing the process that bears his name, pasteurization. ...

Isaac Newton , in full Sir Isaac Newton , (born December 25, 1642 [January 4, 1643, New Style], Woolsthorpe, Lincolnshire, England—died March 20 [March 31], 1727, London), English physicist and mathematician, who was the culminating figure of the Scientific Revolution of the 17th century.   Isaac Newton was a physicist and mathematician who developed the principles of modern physics, including the laws of motion and is credited as one of the great minds of the 17th-century Scientific Revolution. Besides his work on universal gravitation (gravity), Newton developed the three laws of motion which form the basic principles of modern physics. His discovery of calculus led the way to more powerful methods of solving mathematical problems.   The legend is  that a young Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree when he was bonked on the head by a falling piece of fruit, a 17th-century “aha moment” that prompted him to suddenly come up with his law of gra...
