We provide the basic knowledge of Physics from Quarks to Black Holes.
It's the birthday of Johannes Robert Rydberg - - (Scientist of the Day - 08 November) He is best known for a formula which expressed the fundamental relationships in those spectral lines, which he presumed were the result of the inner nature & structure of an element's atom.
This Day in Science History — 8 November - World Radiography Day While doing experiments in his darkened laboratory, OTD in 1895, German physicist Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen accidentally discovered a new kind of radiation. He named it X-rays because of their unknown properties.
Students Pay Attention — There are only two chemical elements on the periodic table named after women — Curium (96) & Meitnerium (109). Curium was named for both Marie & her husband, Pierre Curie, while Meitnerium was named for Lise Meitner alone. Both were born on November 7
Happy birthday Lise Meitner, the forgotten woman of nuclear physics - - - Lise Meitner, with the assistance of her young nephew OttoFrisch, provided a physical explanation of how nuclear fission could happen. It was a massive leap forward in nuclear physics.
It's the birthday of Marie Skłodowska Curie, the woman who changed the course of Science — (Scientist of the Day - 07 November) Famous for her work on radioactivity (a term she coined), she became an icon in the scientific world and received tributes from across the globe.
Today is November 7. It's the birthday of "Bharat Ratna" Sir Chandrashekhara Venkata Raman, the first Asian to receive a Nobel Prize in any branches of science - - - (Our First Scientist of the Day - 07 November)
Today is November 6. Let me introduce you to a Scottish man who, first, described the practical design for the reflecting telescope. It's the birthday of James Gregory — (Scientist of the Day - 06 November) The crater Gregory on the Moon is named after him.
Today, we use colour TVs, mobile phones etc.. but did you think, who made such technologies possible? It was a Scottish man who provided the foundations for our modern society. It's the death anniversary of #JamesClerkMaxwell, one of the greatest scientists who has ever lived.
This Day in Science History - - (November 04) #OTD in 1845, #MichaelFaraday, working in his laboratory at the Royal Institution, discovered that many materials exhibit a weak repulsion from a magnetic field: an effect he termed #diamagnetism.
Today is November 04. It's the death anniversary of Rasmus Bartholin, the man who discovered the double refraction of a light ray — (Scientist of the Day - 04 November)
It's the birthday of Shakuntala Devi, the mathematical genius — In 1980, she demonstrated the multiplication of two 13-digit numbers, picked at random by the Department of Computing at Imperial College London. This event was recorded in the 1982 Guinness Book of World Records.
Equation That Changed The World - 02 (Logarithm) Logarithms helped us perform tedious calculations before there were calculators. When we talk about tiny and gigantic things, we always use logarithms such as; our sensitivity to light, earthquake magnitudes, radioactive decay.
This Day in Science History — (November 03) OTD in 1664, English polymath #RobertHooke showed an advanced copy of his classic book Micrographia to the Royal Society. The book was published in 1665. The book also originated the biological term "cell".
Dear Students, Pay Attention Here! "Being wrong isn't a bad thing like they teach you in school. It is an opportunity to learn something." This is said by Professor #RichardFeynman, one of the greatest scientists of all time & 1965 Nobel Prize winner in Physics.
Happy birthday Melvin Schwartz, the man who discovered the Muon Neutrino — (Scientist of the Day - 02 November) He received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1988 for their research concerning neutrinos (subatomic particles that have no electric charge and virtually no mass).
Based on #IanStewart book - "In Pursuit of the Unknown: 17 Equations That Changed The World." We are presenting these wonderful equations into chronological order and here this is first one. Equation That Changed The World - 01 - (The Pythagorean Theorem or Pythagoras' Theorem)
It's the birthday of Donald William Kerst, the man who invented the Betatron — (Scientist of the Day - 01 November)
It's death anniversary of George Eugene Uhlenbeck — (Our Second Scientist of the Day - 31 October) In September 1925, Uhlenbeck and Goudsmit introduced electron spin. Later it was recognized that spin is a fundamental property of neutrons, protons & other elementary particles.
