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 sound r

Edison was raised in the American Midwest; early in his career he worked as a telegraph operator, which inspired some of his earliest inventions.     One of the most famous and prolific inventors of all time, Thomas Alva Edison exerted a tremendous influence on modern life, contributing inventions such as the incandescent light bulb, the phonograph, and the motion picture camera, as well as improving the telegraph and telephone.   Thomas Edison acquired a record number of 1,093 patents (singly or jointly) and was the driving force behind such innovations as the phonograph, the incandescent light bulb and one of the earliest motion picture cameras. He also created the world's first industrial research laboratory. Edison's first phonograph - 1877. The first great invention developed by Edison in Menl

GREAT SCIENTISTS OF WORLD- LOUIS PASTEUR

Louis Pasteur , (born December 27, 1822, Dole, France—died September 28, 1895, Saint-Cloud), French chemist and microbiologist who was one of the most important founders of medical microbiology. 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. ... In his work with silkworms, Pasteur developed practices that are still used today for preventing disease in silkworm eggs. Usi

GREAT SCIENTISTS OF WORLD -ISAAC NEWTON

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 gravity.   Newto

GREAT SCIENTISTS OF THE WORLD - ALBERT EINSTEIN

But relativity is only one part of Einstein's prodigious legacy. He was equally inventive when it came to the physics of atoms, molecules, and light.     He was affiliated with the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey, until his death in 1955. He published more than 300 scientific papers and more than 150 non-scientific works. His intellectual achievements and originality have made the word " Einstein " synonymous with "genius".     E=mc2 E = mc 2 . It's the world's mo
