The most famous scientists
Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov
The legend of Russian science, Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov. People, always eager for knowledge and submitted to the criticism made previously open. He made an enormous contribution to natural science, physics, formulated the corpuscular-kinetic theory. Being on the threshold of discovery of molecules of oxygen and hydrogen, it greatly accelerated the development of chemical science. He suspected the connection between the chemical and physical phenomena, recording them in a single industry "physical chemistry". Lomonosov opened his laboratory, created in his drawings, where he conducted experiments with glass, upgrading the technology of its production. Also Mikhail was fond of astronomy, exploring the motions of the planets in the Solar system. He opened a school of scientific and applied optics, with devices for night surveillance and optical batscap. Together with I. Lomonosov brown first got the mercury in the solid state. Developed a prototype of the modern helicopter. Studied atmospheric electricity. Lomonosov developed a geographic globe and a circumpolar map. In addition, Mikhail became famous in the development of the rules of grammar and literary art.
James Maxwell
Maxwell — the Scottish mathematician and physicist, introduced the concept of electromagnetic field. He proved that light and electromagnetic field move at the same speed. In 1861 Maxwell made the first color photograph after studies in the field of optics and colors. Maxwell's work on thermodynamics and the kinetic theory also helped other scientists make many important discoveries. The distribution of Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution is another important contribution to the development of relativity theory and quantum mechanics.
Nikola Tesla
Nikola Tesla, a Serbian-American, best known for her work in the field of modern power system and research AC. Tesla initially worked for Thomas Edison — developed the engines and generators, but later resigned. In 1887 he built the induction motor. The Tesla experiments gave rise to the invention of radio communication, and the special nature of Tesla gave him the nickname "mad scientist". In honor of this great scientist, in 1960 the unit of magnetic field named 'Tesla'.
Dmitri Mendeleev
Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev can be called one of the greatest scientists in the history of mankind. He opened one of the fundamental laws of the universe — the periodic law of chemical elements, which is subordinated to the entire universe. The story of this amazing man deserves many volumes, and his discoveries became the engine of development of the modern world.
